Video: Rapid Vienna player scores goal after falling over

Rapid Vienna midfielder Philipp Schobesberger has thrown his hat in the ring for goal of the season with this amazing contender.

Well, it's somewhat amazing depending on how you look at it.

The attacking midfielder broke the offside trap to go through on goal as he accelerated away from his marker.

With the keeper coming out to narrow down the angle, the 21-year-old has a couple of options up his sleeve.

Will he chip the keeper? Attempt to dribble past him? Or maybe try and send him the wrong way by curling it into the opposite corner?

Before Schobesberger could make up his mind, disaster struck as he slipped and fell on his backside.

But was it part of a cunning plan? The slip catches the keeper unaware and the ball ricochets off Schobesberger's shin to roll right on by him into an empty net.

The sublime finish was also the winner for Vienna as they beat Viktoria Plzen 2-1.
