VIDEO: Defender Scores Amazing Own Goal

Northampton Town have not had the best start to the season; languishing near the foot of Football League Two, but we may have found a solution to their woes.

After witnessing this incredible own goal, scored at the weekend in a 3-0 defeat to Mansfield Town, it's clear that their team is back-to-front. French defender Mathias Kouo-Doumbe was the unlucky goalscorer (on his debut appearance too), but with a touch this deft, he really should be playing up front.

Watch below to see some own goal magic.
