The second round of this season's Carabao Cup was a fairly muted affair, with one exception: Huddersfield's Juninho Bacuna scoring one of the most bizarre and spectacular own goals of recent times.
With the Terriers chasing an equaliser at Stoke late on in the match, the 21-year old attempted to volley a clearance from the home side back up the pitch and instead managed to lob the oncoming Jonas Lossl from just inside his own half.
It was a night to forget for Bacuna, but a moment that will live long in the memories of football fans who just can't help laughing at the misfortune of players like this.
In the spirit of Bacuna's epic clanger last night, here is a look at some of the greatest own goals in the history of the game.
15. Tony Popovic
Portsmouth vs. Crystal Palace (2004)
We all remember Olivier Giroud's wonderful scorpion kick for Arsenal a couple of seasons back. What you might not have known is that Giroud was attempting to recreate 'the Popovic'.
With Palace already 2-1 down to Pompey at this point, Popovic decided to make matters worse for his side by flicking a cross into his own net using his heel. It was one of those own goals so beautifully awful it actually looks skilful, and certainly one of the greatest in Football League history.
14. Sammy Ndjock
Minnesota United vs. Bournemouth (2016)
Of all the own goals on this list, Cameroonian goalkeeper Sammy Ndjock's moment of madness against Bournemouth might be the biggest head-scratcher of them all.
With literally no impending danger whatsoever, all Ndjock had to do was throw the ball to a teammate. Instead, the Minnesota United stopper hurled the ball directly into his own net. It's the kind of own goal that keeps you up at night, wondering just how and why it ever happened. Just imagine how Ndjock feels.
13. Frank Sinclair
Middlesbrough vs. Leicester (2002)
In a hotly contested field, perhaps the masterpiece of the 'failed backpass' genre is Frank Sinclair's legendary finish while playing for Leicester in 2002.
From a completely laid-back situation, Sinclair calmly side footed the ball back to goal and amazingly managed to bend the ball around Ian Walker into his own net. It was such an unexpected moment that the TV cameras failed to pick it up the first time, with only the replays showing us what actually happened. Of the many own goals Sinclair scored in his time at the Foxes, this is without a doubt the greatest.
12. Gary Neville
Croatia vs. England (2006)
Gary Neville may have technically scored this own goal, but the blame really lies with former Tottenham Hotspur and England goalkeeper Paul Robinson for this one.
In a Euro 2008 qualifier against Croatia, Neville played a routine backpass to his goalkeeper only for Robinson to completely air-kick the ball and watch it roll into his own net. It was a goal very much befitting of the Steve McClaren era and pretty much killed Robinson's international career stone dead - the stopper had been England's firm number one, but the error knocked his confidence and he never seemed quite so secure after that.
Looking at England's goalkeeping options now, with the likes of Jordan Pickford and Nick Pope competing for number one, it can be easy to forget just how much of a goalkeeping banter era the Three Lions had in the noughties. After watching this one back, you won't forget in a hurry.
11. Geoffrey Kondogbia
Inter vs. Chelsea (2018)
Pre-season is a time when players shake off that rust from the summer break and play their way back to full fitness. Fortunately for Inter's Geoffrey Kondogbia, this means he got off lightly after this howler against Chelsea back in August.
With Inter 2-0 up and cruising, the Nerazzurri were aimlessly passing the ball around in defence with all the urgency you would expect from a pre-season friendly in the south of France. The game might have been in danger of becoming a bit stale - that is, until Kondogbia took it upon himself to spice things up with a stunning lob of his own goalkeeper from the halfway line. Pick that one out.
10. Fikayo Tomori
England U-20s vs. Guinea U-20s (2017)
The failed backpass is a recurring theme on this list, a challenge which has eluded defenders for generations. Sometimes it is the simplest things that prove the most difficult - just ask Chelsea and England youngster Fikayo Tomori.
It feels harsh to single out this event in what was a successful U-20 World Cup for England, but come on: just look at this own goal. Why didn't he look? Why was the goalkeeper so far off his line that the flight of the ball took it right past him? It's a good thing Tomori was only 19 when this happened; the defender has plenty of time to iron out these mistakes before he comes close to Chelsea's first eleven.
9. Stephen Wright & Michael Proctor
Sunderland vs. Charlton (2003)
Scoring one own goal in a match is bad. A team scoring more than one own goal in a match is worse. Scoring three in the space of seven minutes? That's just pure insanity.
Yet that was exactly what happened to Sunderland in February 2003 in a match against Charlton. After Stephen Wright opened the scoring on behalf of the Addicks, midfielder Michael Proctor kindly took the attention off his teammate by scoring a quickfire brace of own goals to leave the Black Cats with a mountain to climb. Honestly, sometimes you look at Sunderland and wonder if they actually enjoy being relegated.
8. Chris Brass
Bury vs. Darlington (2006)
If you feel sorry for Bury defender Chris Brass after watching this clip, you should feel even more sorry for the guy's nose.
Attempting to clear the ball over his own head during a match against Darlington while on loan at Bury in 2006, Brass managed to cannon the ball into his own face and see it ricochet into the net for one of the most slapstick own goals of all time. Supposedly he nearly broke his nose in the process, making it a painful experience in more ways than one for Brass.
7. Lee Dixon
Arsenal vs. Coventry
Poor David Seaman. Such a loyal servant of Arsenal over the years and a consistent England international, the goalkeeper boasts an extraordinary track record of being on the receiving end of iconic lobs.
But before Ronaldinho's legendary free-kick at the 2002 World Cup and Nayim's Cup Winners' Cup wonder strike, there was Lee Dixon.
Why the defender chose to lob his back-pass rather than simply play it along the ground, we may never know. But it gave us an iconic moment that we will never forget and the first in a long line of comical moments for Seaman, and for that we will always be grateful.
6. Franck Queudrue
Bastia vs. Lens (2001)
Shortly before arriving in the Premier League on loan at Middlesbrough, French defender Franck Queudrue scored a truly iconic own goal while playing for Lens in his home country - one that Bacuna might even have been paying homage to with his exploits for Huddersfield.
The most beautiful part of Quedrue's strike is that there was absolutely no danger to Lens' goal until he received the ball. A good 40 yards out from goal with plenty of available teammates among the Bastia attackers, the left-back instead opted to blast the ball back to goal on the half-volley and caught his goalkeeper completely stranded.
There is something beautiful about the way the ball soars up into the evening sky before it comes crashing back down to earth in Queudrue's own net. Poetic, almost. It really is a beautiful game sometimes.
5. Robin van Persie
Netherlands vs. Czech Republic (2015)
Few players in this generation of footballers have had a predatory instinct for goals like Robin van Persie. The former Arsenal and Manchester United striker could always find the net - even if it turned out to be the wrong one.
Playing against the Czech Republic in a Euro 2016 qualifier with the Netherlands on the verge of a shock failure to qualify, the Oranje needed their talisman to stand tall and deliver one of his trademark goals to turn things around.
Sure enough, van Persie delivered with a bullet header that left the goalkeeper stranded - his own goalkeeper, as it turned out.
The comical moment from a Dutch legend condemned his side to failure and they missed out on qualifying for the Euros. Three years on, the own goal stands as a symbol of the shocking reversal in fortunes for the Netherlands as they lost their status as footballing giants over the course of the decade.
4. Djimi Traore
Burnley vs. Liverpool (2005)
As you watch this next goal, there's one thing really worth considering: this man has a Champions League winner's medal and you don't.
Djimi Traore was one of the more experienced players in the young Liverpool side sent out against Burnley by manager Rafael Benitez, the player intended to be a calming influence on the younger players and someone who could lead by example. If Liverpool's other players really had followed the Frenchman's example, they'd probably be in League One by now.
With a dangerous low cross being fizzed into the Liverpool six-yard box, all Traore needed to do was hoof it away. Instead, the Malian defender made a mystifying attempt to pull off a turn and drag-back right in his own goal mouth, resulting in him bundling it into the net. You've got to hand it to Djimi - he really created something out of nothing there.
3. David Alaba
Austria vs. Malta (2016)
David Alaba thought he was being clever when he evaded the pressing of the Malta attack by passing back to goal. As it turned out, the Bayern Munich defender had outfoxed everybody on the pitch - including his own goalkeeper.
Collecting a pass from goalkeeper Ramadan Oezcan inside his own penalty area, Alaba saw the onrushing Malta attackers and decided to play it safe by knocking it back to the keeper. However, with Oezcan standing on one side of the goal, Alaba managed to wrong-foot him entirely by passing it calmly into the far corner of the net, leaving the stopper with no chance.
2. Wayne Hatswell
Forest Green vs. Morecambe Town (2001)
Poor Wayne Hatswell. 17 years on from his infamous moment of madness in the FA Cup, the Newport County assistant manager will still be wondering how he managed to do it.
With Morecambe on the attack, the ball bobbled out of their control and into the Forest Green six yard box, with Hatswell in acres of space to calmly remove the danger. Unfortunately, the defender had other ideas.
Instead of clearing the ball like any normal defender would do, Hatswell managed to blast the ball directly into the top bins from mere inches out. What should have been a routine clearance nearly ripped the net off the Forest Green goal and saw Hatswell write his name into the history books for all the wrong reasons.
1. Jamie Pollock
Manchester City vs. QPR (1998)
Bacuna's own goal was funny, but it could have happened to anyone. It was a difficult ball to catch on the volley and Lossl was so far off his line that there was no stopping it from going in once it was in motion. If it's true poetry in own-goal scoring you want, look no further than Manchester City's Jamie Pollock.
Such was the precision of Pollock's control and finishing that it would have been an unforgettable goal had it taken place at the other end of the pitch. You could watch this own goal a million times and somehow it would get more confusing, more spellbinding with each viewing.
To make matters somehow even worse, the goal prevented City from beating QPR that day and made avoiding relegation from the second division the following week all but impossible, consigning City to the third tier for the first time in their history.
