This James Collins Own Goal is Amazing

There is only one way this own goal could have gone in and James Collins, amazingly, was able to do it.

Manchester City lead West Ham 2-0 at the half and the first goal of the match was one of the more remarkable own goals you're going to see. West Ham have been sloppy and disinterested all morning and Jesús Navas won the ball off a goal kick and pushed it back up the pitch. Navas fired in a cross that James Collins tried to redirect out of the zone and wound up doing the exact opposite of that. It curled higher and closer to the net and Adrian had no chance but to hope it skied over and out of play. Unfortunately it nicked the crossbar and went straight down on the wrong side of the goal line.
