EDITORS COMMENTS
Great photo capturing a pivotal moment in the 2009-10 Premier League season between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Aston Villa. In this image, we see James Milner of Aston Villa in a state of disbelief after scoring an own goal, giving Wolves a 1-2 lead. The expression on Milner's face perfectly encapsulates the feeling of disappointment and frustration that comes with scoring an own goal. The match between these two Midlands rivals was a closely contested affair, with both teams creating numerous opportunities to score. However, it was Wolves who took a commanding 1-0 lead through a stunning strike from Kevin Doyle. Aston Villa pressed hard to level the score, and it seemed they had done just that when Milner met a cross from the right with a powerful header. However, the ball took a cruel deflection off his own head and looped over his goalkeeper, leaving him crestfallen and Wolves celebrating a fortunate lead. Despite the setback, Milner and his teammates rallied and continued to push for an equalizer. However, they were unable to find a way past the resilient Wolves defense, and the home team held on for a valuable three points. This result proved to be a turning point in the season for both teams, with Wolves going on to secure their Premier League status, while Aston Villa were relegated. This photo is a reminder of the unpredictable nature of football and the importance of staying focused and composed, even in the heat of the moment. Milner's unintended strike will go down in history as a memorable moment in the rivalry between these two Midlands clubs. Matthew Ashton/AMA's photograph captures the emotion and tension of the moment perfectly, making it a must-have for any football fan or collector.
