Top five Premier League goalkeeper errors

Joe Hart would probably best be advised to avoid the headlines today.

The Manchester City goalkeeper has received criticism for his part in Chelsea's winning goal at Stamford Bridge yesterday afternoon, despite centre-back Matija Nastasic seemingly having the situation under control.

After his latest slip up, Sports Mole started to think about other goalkeeping errors. After some deliberation, here are five of the best (or worst, depending on which way you look at it) howlers committed during the Premier League era.

5. Fabien Barthez - Arsenal vs. Manchester United, 2001

4. Jerzy Dudek - Liverpool vs. Manchester United, 2002

3. Massimo Taibi - Manchester United vs. Southampton, 1999

2. Shay Given - Coventry City vs. Newcastle United, 1997

1. Peter Enckelman - Birmingham City vs. Aston Villa, 2003
