Vine: Wes Brown’s own goal for Crystal Palace was as comical as they come

A tad unfortunate perhaps, but pretty hilarious all the same.

A tad unfortunate perhaps, but pretty hilarious all the same.

If you happen to be watching Crystal Palace against Sunderland this evening, you were probably sure that no moment could equal Yannick Bolasie’s attempted ‘shot’ for pure hilarity, but that was before Palace’s equaliser arrived early in the second half.

Costel Pantilimon did excellently to save Marouane Chamakh’s initial header, but when the ball was backheeled back into the danger zone by Frazier Campbell, Sunderland fans watched in horror as a stumbling Wes Brown could do little but comically divert the ball into his own net.

What are the chances of more comedy gold before the final whistle? Pretty high we suspect.
