See Man City defender Kyle Walker save freekick after replacing red-carded goalkeeper [VIDEO]

An outfield player having to play in goal is not a new thing, it’s actually happened a few times.

However, Kyle Walker’s turn in goal for Man City in last night’s UEFA Champions League match against Atalanta might be the most any player has embraced the challenge of filling their keeper’s…gloves…on the big stage.

With Man City already struggling in the goalkeeping department after Ederson had to come off with injury at halftime, substitute shot-stopper, Claudio Bravo was sent off with nine minutes to play.

With no other options on the bench, manager Pep Guardiola turned to defender, Kyle Walker.

The player certainly looked up to it while he waited for about six minutes to come on, as VAR checked Bravo’s sending off.

Replacing Riyad Mahrez, Walker was straight in the firing line as he had to face an Atalanta freekick.

He organised his wall and saved the effort from Ruslan Malinovskyi, grabbing it on the second try.

After that Walker grew into his role, even comically falling to the ground in a bid to waste time seconds after comfortably holding a ball into the box.

After the game, Kyle Walker tweeted: “Think I’ll stick to playing outfield though.”

The game eventually 1-1 with Man City taking the lead in the seventh minute through Raheem Sterling, before missing the chance to go two up as Gabriel Jesus missed a penalty.

Atalanta equalised four minutes after Bravo came on with neither side able to find a winner before the end of the match.

Of course, social media did not let this incident pass by quietly with hilarious memes and posts on Twitter and Facebook.

Kyle Walker has now made more saves (1) than Ederson and Claudio Bravo combined (0) vs. Atalanta.

Bravo sent off for @ManCity and Kyle Walker has gone in goal. Yes, Kyle Walker. Can’t remember the last time an outfield player donned a pair of keeper’s gloves.
