Strakosha left the Bees this summer after two seasons with the club, but has seen his time with his new side get off to a horror start.

Lining up for Greek outfit AEK Athens against Armenian first division side FC Noah Yerevan in a Europa Conference League qualifier, Strakosha was caught out and made a horrible mistake.

Noah Yerevan goalkeeper Ognjen Cancarevic cleared the ball up the pitch from inside his own area seeing his long ball skip off the surface with significant pace.

The clearance carried so much speed that it caught Strakosha off guard and bounced straight over the Albanian international’s head and into the back of the net.

The unbelievable moment left fans stunned with many taking to social media to react.

One wrote: “You don’t even see those types of goals in amateur football“.

While another added: “And people complained why Strakosha didn’t move to a top five league… Thomas is far too error-prone!”

And a third joked: “I’m ok losing my bet for this goal lol.”

AEK Athens ultimately lost the game 3-1, adding insult to injury for Strakosha’s terrible night in between the sticks.

Although the 29-year-old has a chance at redemption next week when his side play Noah Yerevan in the second leg, hoping to turn over their two goal deficit on home soil.

Strakosha left the Premier League after making just two appearances in as many years.

The keeper arrived at the G-Tech stadium in 2022 after spending 10 years on the books at Lazio in Italy.

During his time in Serie A he helped Lazio win two Italian Cups and two Italian Super Cups.
