Bayer Leverkusen Goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky Scores The 'Own Goal Of The Century'

Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky produced a moment of madness as he scored the 'own goal of the century' on Saturday.

A back pass went horribly wrong for Hradecky who completely fluffed his clearance, slicing the ball into his own net in a disastrous sequence.

The Slovakian stopper looked sheepishly to the ground after allowing Arminia Bielefeld back in the game.

Needless to say, Hradecky's own goal sent social media wild.

One Twitter user wrote: "Nah, this is just awful, he had enough time to stop the ball before attempting to clear it."

A second joked: "Why is it always Bundesliga gks with all the howlers."

A third tweeted: "We need an award for the Puskas, but the opposite."

Another added: "One of the worst own goals I have ever seen."

Fortunately for Hradecky, his blushes were spared as Leverkusen's Aleksandar Dragovic scored in the 88th minute to seal a 2-1 away win.
