If you watched the Sheffield United versus Chelsea game last night, you would have noticed how comical Antonio Rudiger’s own goal was. It really was.
Chelsea’s goalkeeper Edouard Mendy had jumped off his line in anticipation of collecting a stray ball, and just at the same time, Rudiger chose to calmly roll back for his mate.

The result was an absolute gaffe. Mendy was left red-faced as the pass missed him by at least a yard and went in for 1-1.
Just watch..

Twitter very much took the piss out of the centre-back..
Rule #1 for a defender. DO NOT pass back to the keeper between the posts. Kept in left or right, so just in case you over hit it, or the goalie slips then ITS NOT AN OWN GOAL. #schoolboyerror

Rudiger however, could still be kicking himself for commiting such hilarious error.
