'The most Phil Jones thing he has ever done' - Man Utd defender roasted for calamitous own goal

Twitter had plenty to say on Wednesday afternoon as Phil Jones provided a calamitous own goal in Manchester United's Champions League clash with Valencia.

With Manchester United already trailing 1-0, Jones scored a stunning own goal, all but ending his side's hopes of a comeback.

In pursuit of a pass played through to Michy Batshuayi, Jones poked the ball back towards goal. Unfortunately for him Sergio Romero was charging out of his net, leaving no one in the box to clear away as the ball trickled over the line.

Fortunately for Jones and Manchester United, the result means little in the grand scheme of things as the club entered Wednesday's match with a second-place finish and a spot in the knockout stages secure.
