David Ospina is a trailblazer. Most goalkeepers, when faced with a ball veering towards their goal, attempt to get some part of their body in the way to ensure that it doesn't cross the line.
Not the Arsenal shot-stopper.
Ospina, a surprise selection ahead of first-choice 'keeper Petr Cech, decided in Tuesday's match against Olympiacos that he was simply going to drop a cross into his own net.
Seriously.
The goal gave the Greek side a 2-1 lead, and left the football world collectively scratching its head at the Colombian's incompetence.
