Scotland striker forced to go in GOAL after keeper’s controversial red card – and he keeps a clean sheet

AS Scotland's number 9 he's bagged his fair share of huge goals for his country.

But last night, Lyndon Dykes found himself going IN goals for his club.

Things took an unexpected twist for the Scotland striker as he featured for QPR against Leeds at Elland Road.

The Rs were trailing 1-0 to an early Crysencio Summerville goal but in the end, Dykes ended up at the other end of the park instead of being able to help push for an equaliser.

That's because he ended up having to go between the sticks after goalkeeper Asmir Begovic's controversial red card.

The former Chelsea and Everton stopper came rushing out of his box as Patrick Bamford charged down on goal.

The Leeds striker nicked the ball over Begovic as the keeper went sliding in.

There appeared to be little contact but the England cap went down and Begovic was sent off.

QPR had already used their five substitutes meaning boss Gareth Ainsworth had to take emergency action!

And that emergency action saw Dykes put in goals for the closing stages.

The former Livingston striker put the orange goalkeeper top on over his number 9 shirt and was spotted taking Begovic's gloves off of him as the dismissed No.1 made his way off the pitch.

Dykes immediately had to face the resulting free-kick from the edge of the area.

Despite a further TEN minutes of injury time, Dykes managed to keep a clean sheet.

But it was in vain as QPR couldn't find a leveller as Leeds saw-out the 1-0 win.
