Harry Lewis was caught out by rugby pitch markings during Bradford's 1-1 draw to Newport County on Saturday as he caught the ball several meters outside of his own penalty area.
It was a moment to forget for the 25-year-old, who was confused by the faded lines that had been used by the Dragons rugby union team - who share the same stadium at Rodney Parade.
However, shot-stopper Lewis, who joined the Bantams on a free transfer from Southampton last summer, was incredibly not awarded a red card for handling the ball outside his area.
