Manchester City continued their red-hot form with a 4-2 win over Fulham yesterday, but it wasn't without one embarrassing gaffe from captain Vincent Kompany.

The Belgian defender scored one of the most unlikely own goals you'll ever see.

With City up 2-1, Kompany was trying to clear a cross when the ball skipped up, took a wicked deflection up and over the goalie, and spun into the top corner for a goal.

It went the exact opposite direction from where he was trying to kick it.
