    A goalkeeper announced his \u2018retirement\u2019 after scoring a stunning equaliser for his side \u2013 eight minutes into added time.<\/p>\n

    Newhaven were trailing 1-0 at home in their Southern Combination League clash against Little Common having missed a hatful of chances. With defeat looming and going into the 98th minute, the Dockers won a corner with goalkeeper Jake Buss going forward for the set-piece to try and unsettle the visitors\u2019 defence.<\/p>\n

    After the corner was played short, the ball was whipped into the box, where there was a goalmouth scramble. Little Common looked set to clear the ball, only for Buss to dispossess a dawdling defender.<\/p>\n

    There still looked to be little on for Buss, who was more than 20 yards from goal, but the stopper steadied himself before thundering a superb effort into the corner of the net, giving his opposite number no chance just as the referee was about to blow for full-time.<\/p>\n

    After footage of the screamer did the rounds on social media, Buss, 31, took to X (former known as Twitter) to repost a video of the strike and joke: \u201cLike to announce my official retirement from football. You will now catch me every Saturday in the boozer showing this video to anyone that will watch it.\u201d<\/p>\n

    One fan replied, pointing out: "OMG has anyone noticed that the ref has the whistle to his mouth ready for full time, great strike pal.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Another toasted: \u201cClass mate! Natural born finisher.\u201d A third added: \u201cYou absolutely deserve it too!\u201d<\/p>\n

    Meanwhile, speaking after the match, Buss told the club\u2019s junior reporter: \u201cIt\u2019s a great feeling, I can\u2019t remember the last time [I scored] so I\u2019ll take it.<\/p>\n

    \u201cIt feels like a point gained because of the scenario but we should have won the game with the amount of chances we had. No disrespect to them, they did a job on us.\u201d<\/p>\n
