Arsenal's Ainsley Maitland-Niles Scores Hilarious Own Goal Versus Barcelona
Published
| Last updated
Ainsley Maitland-Niles inadvertently scored a hilarious own goal as Barcelona beat Arsenal 2-1 in a pre-season friendly.
The Arsenal right-back accidentally poked the ball into his own net after a ricochet from Luis Suarez.
He was in no danger as he prodded the ball past the on-rushing Bernd Leno in a comedic moment as Barcelona drew level.

He won't want to see that again.
Needless to say, his own goal was the talk of social media. Here's some reaction from Twitter:
That is genuinely pathetic from Maitland-Niles, don't care if he's played well there's no excuse for that

Like I said, Maitland-Niles shouldn't be a defender

Meanwhile, Arsenal open their Premier League campaign away at Newcastle United on August 11.
