Roy Carroll made a stunning debut for new club Olympiakos when he came off the bench to save a penalty with his first touch as they clung on for a 1-0 win at Rubin Kazan in their Europa League first leg encounter.

The former Manchester United goalkeeper was called into action when Olympiakos goalkeeper Balazs Megyeri gave away a penalty for a foul on Gokdeniz Karadeniz and was sent off. Carroll though saved the resulting spot kick from Bibras Natcho with the first touch of his debut for the Greeks.

The ten-men of Olympiakos then held out for the final 17 minutes to record a victory which put them in pole position to progress to the last-16 of the competition.
