Slovakia goalkeeper Martin Dubravka scores COMICAL own goal in his country's crucial Euro 2020 tie with Spain... with commentator Ally McCoist slamming the Newcastle shot stopper for a 'howler'

Slovakia's Martin Dubravka suffered a goalkeeping howler to net an own goal for his country in their do-or-die Euro 2020 match with Spain.

The Newcastle United shot stopper deflected the ball into his own net after he jumped up to collect Pablo Sarabia's shot which had just come off the bar.

It was the first of two first-half goals for Spain, who were also indebted to a Dubravka mistake for the second strike when Aymeric Laporte headed home on the stroke of half-time, but the Slovakian goalkeeper could not hide from his involvement in Spain's first goal.
