MK Dons striker Alex Revell was taken off the bench, but found himself playing an unusual position in goal and ended up saving his side from defeat!

32-year-old Alex Revell has been playing senior football for 16 years and has played for 12 clubs, but it looks like he's been playing in the wrong position...

On Saturday Revell was the Mk Dons' hero when he helped the struggling Championship side avoid the inevitable relegation for a little longer.

Mk Dons' keeper Cody Cropper was sent off and the Dons had already made three substitutions, so Revell was called up between the posts.

He wowed all when he saved Joe Garner's penalty!

Watch the video of Revell after the match:
