#4 Bournemouth score spectacular own goals

Steve Cook helped Liverpool in the 4-0 victory after turning in the 3rd past Begovic into his own net. Bournemouth's resident centre back put the ball into his net, accidentally, with a fancy flick after Andy Robertson fizzed in a cross from the left flank.

This isn't the first time this season that a spectacular own goal this season has helped Bournemouth's oponents to victory. Just 2 weeks ago, the same thing happened but against fellow top six opponents Arsenal.

Summer signing, Jefferson Lerma, accidentally thrashed the ball into his own net past Begovic to put Arsenal 1-0 up. The Colombian tried to intercept a pass but instead by lunging in fired it into his own net from long range. This goal helped Arsenal win the game 2-1 after Aubameyang scored the winner.

This will be something that Howe will want to eradicate for the future because it could cost them vital points in games like it did against Arsenal
