Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel used a rather distinct technique to try and prevent Aston Villa's fourth goal last night.
The Danish shot-stopper had a busy evening between the sticks, making several saves in his side's 4-2 loss.
A quick-fire Morgan Rogers double gave Villa the lead early on before Adam Idah levelled things up with a brace of his own.
While Celtic remained competitive throughout the match, Unai Emery's men pulled through in the second 45 and got the job done.

Ollie Watkins put them ahead on the hour mark, with Rogers wrapping things up late on with a hat-trick goal.
Young Dane Murray, who came on as a late substitute, was too slow to the ball, and Watkins nipped in. He played it to Rogers, who duly finished.
New footage of Schmeichel's hilarious attempt to prevent the goal has emerged today on social media, with the veteran pushing himself back.

While Celtic ended their Champions League league phase campaign with a loss yesterday evening, their 1-0 win over BSC Young Boys last Wednesday made sure of their place in Friday's knockout stage playoff draw.
Bayern Munich or Real Madrid await Brendan Roders' men in the next round of European football's premier club competition, with the first leg taking place in Glasgow's east end.
