England’s Fikayo Tomori reacts after his attempted backpass went past his own goalkeeper in the match against Guinea. An long range own-goal by England defender Fikayo Tomori handed Guinea a 1-1 draw on Tuesday at the Under-20 World Cup in South Korea. Chelsea’s Tomori placed the ball in his own net from just outside the centre circle in the 59th minute after trying a backpass to his goalkeeper Dean Henderson. The defender struck the ball without looking and was aghast to see Henderson well outside the penalty area, despite the keeper’s best tries to kick the ball clear as it passed him.
