Sweden's Emil Forsberg was gifted a goal by Belarus goalkeeper Andrei Gorbunov after a classic howler

Belarus goalkeeper Andrei Gorbunov had a horror moment to forget as he conceded four goals in Sweden's comfortable World Cup qualifying win over Belarus.

With the hosts leading 1-0 at Stockholm's Friends Arena thanks to Emil Forsberg's penalty, Belarus were still in with a chance of a positive result against the Group A leaders.

When Forsberg took aim at goal once again and shot straight at the keeper, it seemed as though Gorbunov had an easy save to make.

Yet after he went to gather the attempt, he managed to fumble the ball through his legs and over the line to gift Sweden an easy second goal.

From there, the home side eased to a straightforward victory, ultimately coming out on top 4-0 thanks to further strikes from Marcus Berg and Isaac Thelin.
