Watch as Luxembourg defender scores bizarre own goal against Northern Ireland

You've got to feel for Luxembourg defender Kevin Malget.

The 28-year-old, winning his 34th cap, won't want to watch this back in a hurry.

The F91 Dudelange player lay face down on the Windsor Park turf after scoring a bizarre own goal in his side's game against Northern Ireland .

It came in the 37th minute of a dull opening half in Belfast.

Jordan Thompson swung in a corner which was headed on to the back post, George Saville headed it back across goal and Luxembourg keeper Antony Moris palmed the ball into the air.

But with nobody around him, defender Malget inadvertently headed the ball into the back of the net.

It was a cruel piece of luck for Malget who was lifted to his feet by his teammates following the gaffe.

Not that Northern Ireland or the home fans were complaining.
