Why do goalkeepers do what the Leicester keeper did last night in the last minute. It could easily have been three under the circumstances

Why not ? 2 1 or 3 1 still pointless, but he could have assisted or scored an equaliser which is one point more.

Incredibly, our very own Marek Rodak has scored tonight for Slovakia U21 to give them a late 3-2 win over Iceland U21. pic.twitter.com/lVm72MYziA

Exactly this. Also, even if not directly involved in a goal, adding the keeper to the attack means there's another player to mark, which can make space for other attackers in the area (making a goal more likely).
