This article focuses on players who have put the ball in the back of their net the most times in the most watched league in the world. No hiding place there… And we bring you the five players who have the most Premier League own goals. Enjoy!

Who has the most Premier League own goals?

Richard Dunne has the most Premier League own goals with 10. The Irishman had a long stint in the Premier League and put the ball in his team’s net for a record 10 times. He played for clubs such as Manchester City and Aston Villa and spent his professional life playing football in England. He was an able defender but is sadly widely remembered for this unfortunate stat.

Below him in the list are actually three players. Jamie Carragher, the retired Liverpool legend, has 7 to his name. He cannot add to his tally anymore. Another ex-Liverpool player, Martin Skrtel, features on this list with 7 to his name as well. Now into his 30s and playing for Istanbul Besaksehir, it’s unlikely he adds to his tally.

Phil Jagielka, another ex-Merseyside player in his 30s, has 7 to his name as well. He is now at Derby County and cannot add to his PL tally unless he gets an unlikely move back to the first division. Below these names are several other players who have 6 own goals to their name. They are:

Wes Brown, Jonny Evans, Ryan Shawcross, and Frank Sinclair. Out of these, only Evans is playing in the PL right now, doing so for Leicester City. Brendan Rodgers better be wary of him if he ever plans on netting 5 goals into his own net to overtake Dunne for the prestigious first spot.
