VINE: There’s nothing wrong with an embarrassing back-heel own goal of a Monday night

Poor fella was just trying to defend a cross

Darragh Murphy

An own goal for the ages was scored tonight.

Fede Vico, who was still on Cordoba’s books at the time of writing, came up with an unusual method of defence when his side were hosting Getafe this evening.

1-0 up with just two minutes left to play, Vico decided to help out his opponents.

With a cross coming across the face of goal, the defender acrobatically reached for the ball to get anything on it.

But rather than direct the football away from goal, his heel angled it over his own goalkeeper.

The OG went on to give Getafe the momentum to go on and find a second which won them the game.

Bad day at the office for poor ol’ Fede.
