FEYENOORD keeper Justin Bijlow produced a clever piece of s**thousery to potentially deny a goal in their game against FC Twente.
The Dutch leaders were winning 1-0 late in the first half when the stopper raced out of his goal to make a tackle.
He successfully beat forward Virgil Misidjan to the ball at the expense of a throw.
But with Bijlow now miles out of his goal and in fact off the pitch, Misidjan sensed an opportunity to catch him out and score.
However, Bijlow’s quick-thinking immediately put a stop to that.
When the Feyenoord keeper noticed he was in trouble, he grabbed another ball and threw it onto the pitch.

It came just as Misidjan was about to restart the game, which left the Twente winger fuming.
He threw the ball in anger, while the keeper was booked for his actions.
But it was a tremendous piece of thinking and one that could have saved his team a goal.
Unfortunately, Twente had the last laugh as they eventually equalised 22 minutes from time to earn a draw.
