Northern Ireland goalkeeper Trevor Carson received a ‘fantastic save as you’ll see’ in Morekembe’s decisive 2-1 win over Oxford United.
After that time, the 34-year-old slipped to the left to make a stunning save to equalize Sam Vinal in the 91st minute at Mazuma Stadium.
Carson’s championship helped chase shrimp out of the drop zone, Gillingham, which hit the last four.

Morecambe CEO Derek Adams said, “Trevor Carson made two great saves and a very good second you’ll find anywhere in a long time.”
Commentators inside the club were equally embarrassed by head media Ryan Dale, who called it “probably one of the best tackles I’ve ever seen”.
“It was really cool from Carson,” he said. “The ball was mainly behind him and he has the power in his hand to throw the ball at the post. Unbelievable survival.”
Carson, who joined Morkembe on loan from Dundee United in January, joked that he would come home and see the trophy alive.
The national team goalkeeper said to the national team seven times: “As the coach likes to be reminded after the game, that’s why I get paid! It was just an instinct.
“I couldn’t watch [the save] I keep coming back, but in every respect it was a beautiful show, and I’m having a cup of tea tonight.
“It was nice to be able to do that in front of our fans as well. It was great to have that recognition behind my back. It was also three big points.”
