Goalie scores outrageous back-heel equaliser in 95th minute

radx says...

Outside his own team's penalty box, a goalie is treated just like a regular field player. He can run up the pitch whenever he pleases, as long as he's aware of the risk that entails.

In fact, some teams have so much possession of the ball, their goalies adopt a sort of sweeper role behind their centre-backs, who often advance up to the half-way line. FC Bayern Munich's Manuel Neuer being the prime example these days. You can often see him 30-40m in front of his goal, ready to clear any long passes behind his defenders.

In hockey, a team can "pull" their goalie back to the bench, allowing them to put an additional skater out on the ice in order to try to score late game-tying desperation goals like this. I guess this is the football equivalent of that?

In hockey, you can replace your pulled goalie with any skater you want (generally, they will be replaced by players with the most offensive upside or "clutch" scoring abilities). But I guess in football, maybe it has to be the goalie/keeper?
