PSG defender David Luiz scored an embarrassing own goal during Wednesday's preseason friendly against West Brom.
It happened about 15 minutes into the match as West Brom went on the attack with a cross towards the middle of the box. Luiz was in position to deflect the ball away, but he chose to slide into the ball rather than stay on his feet. That decision likely cost PSG, as Luiz knocked the ball past his goalkeeper and into the net.
