This has to be one of the most shocking own-goals in Premier League's history. The ball rolled under the boot of the former Aston Villa goalkeeper Peter Enckelman after Mellberg's throw-in pass.

"I took a lot and it was scary how many mentions there were of that game, what I have learned is that it isn't the person that people hate, it's the goalkeeper," Enckelman said in an interview to The Times.

After the own-goal, one Aston Villa even tried to assault Enckleman and the player did his best to avoid a fight. "I just told myself to not move or do anything. If I had physically done something, I was at the wrong end of the stadium to get to the dressing room." Enckleman further added.
