Watch: Crawley's Jimmy Smith scores a calamitous own goal with his face against Accrington
Unlucky Smith stood right in the way of a clearance to hand Accrington a lifeline in the League Two clash.
Stanley lost 2-1 to Crawley on Saturday, but Accrington's consolation goal was certainly the highlight of the match at the Checkatrade.com Stadium.
Dutchman Enzio Boldewijn scored twice to give the hosts a comfortable lead. But in the 57th minute, Accrington got a goal back thanks to Crawley's midfielder Jimmy Smith, who was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
As team-mate Josh Lelan tried to lump the ball away from the danger zone, Smith blocked it with his face before the ball looped into the back of the net.
1:20 for the own goal
Oh dear. Fortunately for the 31-year-old, Crawley would hold on to a narrow 2-1 victory. We sincerely hope Smith's nose is still in place.
