PSG goalkeeper Donnarumma gets away with huge blunder against Brest

Associated Press  

GUINGAMP, France — Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma has often been criticized for his erratic passing out from the back since joining Paris Saint-Germain. He almost proved his doubters exactly right early into the game against Brest in their Champions League playoff match on Tuesday by completely botching a routine clearance. But Donnarumma somehow kicked the ball straight at the head of striker Ludovic Ajorque a few meters away and then looked on anxiously as the ball rolled narrowly wide of the goal. PSG left back Nuno Gomes said before the game that the playing surface was “not very good” and online images showed thinning layers of grass and some bumps on the field.
