Beware of the comedy own goal (Video)

I have never understood why Roberto Mancini continues to put so much faith in England midfielder Gareth Barry.

Maybe he will think again after this hilarious own goal (great finish) Barry scored to give Southampton a 3-1 lead yesterday, a game Man City lost in humiliating fashion.

Barry had a couple of decent seasons at Aston Villa earlier in his career but it became obvious that he was probably one of the slowest players in the league.

Man City didn't seem to care and bought in one of their big spending sprees a couple of years ago. Strangely, Mancini has shown unwavering faith in the midfielder.

Anyway, he knows best I suppose but here is that brilliant piece of finishing from Barry one more time.
