If that was at the other end… (Video)
When your team scores an own goal it has to be one of the most infuriating and frustrating feelings in the world.
Most own goals are scrappy 6-yard box affairs when the ball bobbles up and off the shin of an unfortunate defender and into the back of the net.
But there are some own goals which are so breathtakingly brilliant if they were to be scored at the other end they would be serious contenders for goal of the season.
Goals which make you stare and exclaim “How did he manage that?”
Here’s one of my all time, at loss for a better word, favourites from recent years.
It happened it a Premier League match between Crystal Palace and Portsmouth in 2004 with the Eagles fighting to stay in the top flight.
Now I’ve watched this video many times and I’m still not quite sure how Tony Popovic manages to do this.
Readers please feel free to contribute with any OG’s which you think can better this one.
