Video: Laporte scores bizarre own goal to gift Southampton an equaliser
Aymeric Laporte scored a bizarre own goal, gifting Southampton an equaliser just before half-time.
Laporte attempted to intercept a ball across the box from Mohamed Elyounoussi, but some how turned it into his own net.
Elyounoussi made an excellent run, latching onto a through ball from Stuart Armstrong.
Laporte might have been a little unlucky as he didn’t have much time to readjust to clear the ball. Pictures from beIN Sports and BBC.
