Keeper scores bizarre own goal from distance, then subbed off | OneFootball

It's not that unusual for a goalkeeper to score an own goal. But to score an own goal, from outside the box, and with a header? Well, that's exactly what happened this Saturday (21).

Joshua Oluwayemi was at the center of this bizarre moment during Wellington Phoenix's 5-0 defeat to Auckland in the Australian Championship.

After a long kick from far away, the ex-Tottenham goalkeeper tried to clear the ball with a header, but mistimed it and ended up scoring an own goal. Watch:

With the score at 4-0, Joshua Oluwayemi was SUBSTITUTED at halftime. And, from the bench, he still saw his team concede another goal.

The Australian Championship features 12 teams.

The Wellington team, with their clumsy goalkeeper, is in 10th place with 20 points. Auckland is the runner-up with 32—Newcastle Jets lead with 33.
