The list contains several veteran names who have scored more own goals than goals for their own side.
Let’s face it, an own goal is one of the most unfortunate moments in football. At least for the team that concedes the goal, a goal made out of their own bane. No one likes an own goal, and none more than the player who slots it into his own net and has to face the ignominy of the same. Over the years, the Premier League have experienced its fair share of own goals, which were scored multiple times by the same players.
Here, we will be looking at five players who have scored the most own goals in the Premier League.
Wes Brown – Six goals
Wes Brown is considered among the best English center-backs of his generation and represented Manchester United, Sunderland, and Blackburn Rovers before finishing his career with Kerala Blasters in the Indian Super League.
During his time in the Premier League, Wes Brown slotted six times into his own net. Despite his record, he wouldn’t mind the same by having an ornate trophy cabinet, as he won it all with Manchester United.
Wes Brown won five Premier League titles, two FA Cups, and two Champions League titles with Manchester United including a treble in 1999. He made more than 200 league appearances for the club, taking his tally to 362 in total for the Red Devils. You wouldn’t think that this infamous record would be running on the back of his mind.
