Jack Butland Makes Horrendous Error In Net, Gifts Millwall Goal In FA Cup Clash

​Jack Butland's calamity in net gifted Benik Afobe​ with one of his easiest goals of his career during Millwall vs. Crystal Palace.

The Championship side opened the scoring in their FA Cup clash on Saturday thanks to a howler by Butland. 

​The Palace keeper received the ball and took a dodgy first touch before panicking on the ball, with two Millwall players in close proximity. 

He then failed to get his pass away, with Afobe pouncing on his mistake to tap home from close range to make it 1-0.

A moment the 28-year-old won't want to see again.

It's only Butland's fourth appearance of the season having made two showings in the Premier League and an outing in the EFL Cup. 

Naturally, his mistake got fans talking online.

At the time of writing, Millwall lead 1-0.
