Leicester’s Wout Faes has become the fourth player to score two own goals in a Premier League match, as Leicester let a first-half lead slip to lose 2-1 at Liverpool.
The Belgium defender inadvertently beat goalkeeper Danny Ward in the 38th and 45th minutes – first slicing an attempted clearance into his own net and then deflecting the ball home after a shot from Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez cannoned back off the post.
Here is a look at the unfortunate trio alongside him on the list.
Jamie Carragher
Liverpool 2 Manchester United 3, September 11, 1999
Carragher was on co-commentary duty for Sky TV as Faes endured his horror evening at Anfield and could call on his own experience on the same ground more than 20 years earlier. His misjudged near-post header from a Ryan Giggs cross put United ahead and, after Andy Cole’s bullet header doubled the lead and Sami Hyypia pulled one back, Carragher got the unwanted final touch in a scramble from David Beckham’s free-kick. Patrik Berger’s goal could not help Liverpool rescue a point.
Michael Proctor
Sunderland 1 Charlton 3, February 1, 2003
Remarkably, Sunderland scored all four goals in their 3-1 defeat as Stephen Wright got the crucial final touch on Mark Fish’s shot before a pair of deflections off the unfortunate Proctor put Charlton three up by halftime. It took a late Kevin Phillips penalty for the Black Cats to find the right goal.
Jonathan Walters
Stoke 0 Chelsea 4, January 12, 2013
The forward twice got his angles wrong with defensive headers, in first-half stoppage time and just after the hour mark. Frank Lampard and Eden Hazard added to an emphatic scoreline before Walters’ day remarkably got even worse when he missed a penalty.
