Only three players in Premier League history have managed to put their names on this illustrious list.

Heading the list is current Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney. During the 2012/13 season, in a game between Manchester United and Stoke City, Wayne Rooney opened the scoring for the Potters, as he headed into his own net. Rooney redeemed himself with a brace at the right end and later also assisted Danny Welbeck.

A month later, Welshman Gareth Bale joined Rooney on the list, as he assisted Aaron Lennon before scoring a beautiful 25-yard free kick himself against Liverpool. With Liverpool piling on the pressure, the former Spurs player then headed the ball into his own net from a corner.

However, it was an ex-Bolton star Kevin Davies who appeared first on this list. During the 2008/09 season, in a match against Aston Villa, Davies headed the ball into the net, at both the correct, as well as wrong end. He also setup Johan Elamander’s opener in a clash which they ultimately lost 4-2.
