Joachim Andersen: Crystal Palace Defender Scores Rare ‘Double-Own Goal’ During EPL Clash

• Wolves vs Crystal Palace Premier League clash ended in a 2-0 win for the hosts at Molineux
• A moment involving Joachim Andersen in the opening exchanges of the match became a big talking point
• The Denmark international scored a rare double-own goal but was lucky only to have one count

Crystal Palace star Joachim Andersen was involved in a moment of madness during his side's Premier League clash against Wolves on Tuesday night, April 25.

Andersen was part of Palace's travelling squad for their encounter against Wolves on Tuesday night, April 25, at Molineux.

However, the defender had a night to forget as he scored a rare 'double own goal' to cost the Eagles vital points.

Daily Star reports that the Danish star threw out a leg at a Ruben Neves corner just three minutes into the clash, only for his intervention to cause more harm than good.

Andersen's intervention saw the ball hit the crossbar and bounce over the line for an own goal.

While the incident would have required goal-line technology to verify the goal, this was not the case, as the ball hit Andersen again to cross the line for a second time.

Luckily for the Denmark international, his own goal counted as just one instead of two.

How Wolves vs Palace played out

Meanwhile, efforts by Palace to restore parity proved futile as the hosts held on to the lead for the better part of the match.

According to Sky Sports, Ruben Neves extinguished the visitors' hopes of equalising as he doubled Wolves' advantage at stoppage time to inspire his side to victory.

The hosts' win now has them sitting nine points off the relegation zone with 37 points, on level with the Eagles, who are above them on goal difference.

Maguire makes comical error

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Manchester United captain Harry Maguire made a comical error in defence to gift Sevilla the lead in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday.

The England international fumbled away possession and Youssef En-Nesyri capitalised on the giveaway to score a goal that gave his team a 3-2 aggregate advantage in Spain.

The incident occurred in the 8th minute when United goalkeeper David de Gea put Maguire in trouble with his pass.
