Valencia manager Garry Neville has been having a torrid season at his new club, thanks to a string of poor results. But Malaga goalkeeper Carlos Kameni gave the former Man United defender a rare reason to smile when he scored one of the most classic and comical own goals in the history of modern football.
The experienced Cameroonian shot stopper punched the ball into his own net from a Sofiane Feghouli cross on the right wing. Obviously, he was expecting to parry the ball of the pitch but it brilliantly landed into his own net to the amazement of his defenders.
Thanks to the own goal, Valencia went on to win the match 2-1 to give Gary Neville a crucial and rare win away from home.
Watch the comical own goal below:

Here are some reactions on Twitter:
Still can't work out what Carlos Kameni is trying to do. Or why he is complaining.

Love Carlos Kameni's reaction to throwing the ball in his own net. Not really sure what/who he's trying to blame.

Just watched Malaga's goalie Carlos Kameni's mistake against Valencia, what a howler that was, even Mignolet wouldn't do that.

Just seen the Carlos Kameni own goal, mental. Looks sooooo suspect, basically chucked it in his own net lol.
