Fans say ‘he liked that goal a bit TOO much’ as commentator goes full Gary Neville with epic ‘goalgasm’
FANS declared “he liked that goal a bit TOO much” after a commentator suffered a Gary Neville-esque “goalgasm.”
The moment occurred across the pond in an American college match between Notre Dame and Stanford.
A dramatic game saw the latter leading with just minutes to go.
But they were left stunned when Notre Dame fired home an equaliser for 2-2.
With seconds remaining on the clock, both sides looked set to share the points.
Yet there was still another twist in the tale.
A Stanford defender used the final kick of the game to launch a ball high and long from his own half towards Notre Dame’s goal.
Players on both sides watched as the ball sailed over their heads.
And as it approached the net, it amazingly dipped down before sailing over the keeper’s hands and into the mouth of the goal.
Stanford’s incredible strike sparked wild celebrations among players and fans.

But nobody appeared as jubilant as the commentator.
As the ball hit the target, he let out a huge groan which continued on for many seconds before dwindling as he finally took a breath.
Gary Neville made a similar noise 12 years ago and hasn’t been able to live it down ever since[/caption]
Neville’s ‘goalgasm’ came after a late Chelsea strike vs Barcelona in the 2012 Champions League[/caption]
The noise was similar to the one famously produced by ex-Man Utd star Neville, who was on punditry duty for 10-man Chelsea’s famous Champions League semi-final win against a peak Barcelona side at the Nou Camp in 2012.
As the Blues clung on to an away-goal lead, a long ball saw Fernando Torres go one-on-one with Victor Valdes.
The Spaniard rounded his compatriot before firing into an empty net, sealing Chelsea’s place in the final and allowing Neville to utter the “goalgasm” noise that has stuck with him ever since.
Fans were certainly tickled by the American commentator’s version.
One said: “He liked that goal a bit TOO much.”
Another noted: “UnbelieveEeEeAaable.”
One bemoaned the lingering whimper at the end, adding: “Can’t be letting it trail off like that into a whimper, sounds so much worse.”
