Aston Villa stars Emiliano Martinez and Ezri Konsa were left red-faced after conceding a bizarre own goal during their side’s 3-1 win over Luton on Sunday. At Villa Park, the hosts had been leading 3-0 and their supporters were taunting Rob Edwards’ outfit but swiftly turned their attention to a surprising own goal that came out of the blue.<\/p>\n
As the ball was crossed into the box, Villa centre-back Konsa attempted to cushion a header back to his goalkeeper but put too much on the backpass and it looped over Martinez, hitting the crossbar before coming back off the Argentinian stopper and into the back of the net.<\/p>\n
Villa had already moved into a comfortable lead thanks to goals from John McGinn, Moussa Diaby and an own goal from Luton captain Tom Lockyer. The home fans had even resorted to chanting “We want our ball back” when the visitors had a meaningful spell of possession, but Luton were quickly given a lifeline on their travels.<\/p>\n
A cross came in from the right and Konsa battled with substitute Elijah Adebayo. The defender came out on top as the ball looped up but having misjudged his header, he gave Martinez too much to do and quickly apologised to his goalkeeper after putting his hands on his head in disbelief.<\/p>\n
