Something like this happened to Arsenal some years ago against...don't remember who. I think Fabianski was in goal.
*Edit* Someone mentioned it in the comments section on the article. Falcao for Porto. They dropped the ball and kicked it into the goal while Fabianski was walking back and the ref was blocking Sol Campbell.
Porto's goal is less ''cheap'' and a rather intelligent goal, because the ball was near the arsenal goal and the referee called the free-kick,so the players decided to take it quickly. It,s is not a lack of sportmanship by any means, remember when everyone praised Messi when he scored that free-kick against Atletico?
However, in Luis Adriano's goal, you can see that the ball wasn't intended for an assist , but just a fair-play throwback, so yeah, it's a lack of sportmanship from him to just pick it up and score.... but again, there's no rule agaisnt that....
... with Kanu, who didn't know, or pretended not to know, this unwritten courtesy rule, so he went on playing instead of giving back the ball, crossed it to Overmars, who tapped it in.
The reason for this fair play drop ball was because a player literally just dived. Perhaps this was Adriano's way of saying "You want me to play fair after a dive? jog on"
I don't condone the goal but it's slightly justified.

Well at least he's sorry about it.
Guess i'll play the devils advocate.
