Defender scores stunning overhead kick … own goal - video

Pully Football’s Adrien Gulfo somehow manages to score a spectacular overhead kick - into his own net - during a cup match with FC Renens in Switzerland. Gulfo attempts to clear a cross into the penalty area with a bicycle kick but misdirects his clearance and indadvertedly beats his own goalkeeper, slotting the ball into the far corner of the net. The match finished 3-3, after which Pully Football prevailed 4-3 on penalties to reach the cup final
