    Wow. A very weird few seconds.

    Athletic keeper Unai Simon runs to the edge of his box when there's no real need to. He clears the ball and then Joao Cancelo hammers in a first-time shot from 40 yards.

    Simon is scrambling back and gets a hand to it with Yeray Alvarez hooking it off the line.
