All the own goals in every European championship edition

Bengaluru, June 30: Own goals in football are mostly a stroke of bad luck rather than individual errors but at this year's European Championship those look to be coming at a sizzling pace.

With Unai Simon's bizarre own goal against Croatia, this tournament has now recorded the same amount of own goals (Nine) as every other European Championship combined.

Below we have enlisted all the other European Championship editions where own goals were recorded:
