Paraguayan goalkeeper José Luis Chilavert etched his name into football history by scoring a hattrick for Vélez Sarsfield on 29 November 1999. All three goals came from the penalty spot in a 6-1 win over Ferro Carril Oeste. Known as a set-piece specialist, Chilavert amassed 67 career goals for club and country, making him one of the most prolific goalkeepers ever. 💥
Irish defender Richard Dunne holds an infamous record in football: the most own goals ever scored by a player. Having represented Manchester City, Aston Villa and Queens Park Rangers, Dunne netted 10 own goals across his career, including his first in 2004 for City and his last for QPR in 2014. His record remains one of the most unusual in Premier League history. 😱
