I don't have a rooting interest in this, and watched in absolute shock as that own goal happened. That was an epic blunder - the kind of thing you'd expect to see as part of an "agony of defeat" montage on Wide World of Sports.
You're absolutely right, he should have cleared that with his boot rather than going down that low for a header in that situation.
