Leicester’s Timothy Castagne went incredibly close to scoring a bizarre own-goal after rounding his own keeper LCFC

The Foxes were 2-1 up at home to Tottenham with half an hour played when Harry Kane tried to pick out Heung-min Son with a through ball.

The pass was nowhere near the Korean, and went to an all-alone Castagne, whose task of simply collecting the ball was muddled by an on-rushing Danny Ward. Seeing his goalkeeper approaching and fearing that Son was far closer than he actually was in reality, the Belgian defender went round Ward, panicked, and cleared the ball.It arguably turned out to be the right decision with Son on his tail in the box, but it could have been one of the most embarrassing moments in English football if the ball ended up a couple of feet to the right.

I know that it wasn't in the Premier League but didn't Wrexham have to replace their 2 central defenders even earlier v Sheff U in their 1st FA Cup game a week or so ago?

Great attempt but Bednarek actually pulled it off for Southampton
