Ananova:

A schoolgirl goalkeeper is set for the record books after scoring twice in a single match from her own penalty box.

Emily Dickson, 14, stunned her team-mates and the opposition with two huge drop kicks down the full-sized pitch.

With both attempts, the ball bounced over the opposing keeper and into the net during the under-15s match, reports the Daily Telegraph.

Emily, from Broxbourne, Herts, is now awaiting confirmation from FA officials, who believe her effort is a record.

The Hoddesdon Owls Girls player said: "I'd never scored a goal from my goal before. So it was totally brilliant to get two in one match."

By scoring two goals, Emily, a pupil at Broxbourne School, helped her side to defeat the Stevenage Vixens 3-2.

The FA's official historian David Barber believes that Emily, could be the first keeper in the country to have scored twice on a full-sized pitch in a competitive match.

Emily said: "I was in a really bad mood because I'd just let in a goal. I took the ball and smashed it as hard as I could when it came to me. It bounced over the keeper and went in. I couldn't believe it."

Her manager came onto the pitch afterwards and told her 'double or quits', priming her for a second attempt.

Emily said: "So when the ball came to me next, everyone shouted 'shoot', so I did and in it bounced."
