Video: Wigan keeper Lee Nicholls won’t want to see this goal again

Eden Hazard’s brother Thorgen scored for Zulte-Waregem tonight, but he had a lot of help…

Ah, the Europa League, the refuge of the desperate football fan on a Thursday night. Sadly shorn of Gareth Bale rattling home golazos this season, we have to look elsewhere to get our kicks this year.

Stuff like this in fact. The less-than-sexy match up between Wigan and Belgian’s SV Zulte Waregem is delicately poised at 1-1 at half-time but the real reason we are paying the game any attention is a howler by Latics stopper Lee Nicholls.

Eden Hazard’s brother Thorgen let loose with a fairly tame effort from a tight angle but Nicholls let the ball slip through his hands and into the net.
