Heracles midfielder Marko Vejinovic registered a late contender for own goal of the year at the weekend with a quite spectacular volley into the top corner of the net. His own net.

Vejinovic shouldn’t be too down on himself after putting his side a goal down against Groningen, however, because rarely will he strike a ball as well as he did past his own ‘keeper, who looked more than a little bemused afterwards (see video above).

We can only assume that Vejinovic was trying to volley the ball clear to safety and it went horribly wrong, but we’re glad it did because it led to one of the funniest own goals we’ve seen in a long time, nearly but not quite as funny as our all-time favourite.
