What is a 'goalkeeper error'?

A goalkeeper error occurs when the keeper makes a mistake that directly leads to an opponent scoring. Kjell Scherpen being 'at fault for both Ipswich goals' means his actions, or lack thereof, directly contributed to the goals conceded. These moments can be tough for a goalkeeper but are part of the game.
