Unbelievable comedy of errors ends in stunning own goal

Xinjiang, Xinjiang, Xinjiang. You guys are just awful.

WE ALL MAKE mistakes, sure.

However, most of can at least look around, fix your nearest team-mate with an intense stare and know instantly that when that moment comes one of you will be there to cover and bail you out.

The men of Xinjiang can no longer enjoy such a warm fuzzy feeling.

Watch in awe/horror/amazement/ hysterics as – not one, not two, but – four of their back five try and fail to either control or clear a straightforward ball into the box.

As me old gaffer, Mickey, used to say: ‘clear it, CLEAR IT! JUST F***ING HOOF the f***ing thing!’
