In a 2013 Bundesliga tie against Hoffenheim, Stefan Kiessling saw his header from a corner slip past the wrong side of the post and turned away in disappointment – only for his teammates to chase him down to celebrate, The ball had ended up in the back of the net – slipping in through a hole in the side netting – and in spite of complaints from the defenders, the referee Felix Brych allowed Leverkusen’s claims for a goal to stand.

Perhaps not the most intentional of unfair goals on this list, but one that certainly made a difference to Hoffenheim who lost the match 2-1 and subsequently lost their appeal for a replay of the fixture.
