Kieran Trippier had a horror moment in the 84th minute of Chelsea vs Tottenham, the England international lost his head and scored an embarrassing own goal. Trippier picked up the ball just outside the box and in a momentary lapse of concentration the right-back decided to pass the ball back towards Hugo Lloris – who was already rushing forward to collect the ball. What ensued was Trippier’s pass-back being tucked perfectly into the bottom corner of the goal and Chelsea were gifted a two-goal lead.

Trippier opened up his body like a prime Thierry Henry to leave World Cup winner Lloris stranded. And fans have been quick to make the most of the England international’s misfortune.

In the personal information bar on the right-hand side, someone added Chelsea to Burnley and Spurs as the list of clubs the 28-year-old has played for. Check it out below!<doc-sep>Kieran Trippier, what were you thinking? The Tottenham defender was involved in a complete and utter mix-up with his goalkeeper Hugo Lloris resulting in the Englishman slotting the ball into his own goal. In the dying embers of Spurs’ clash with Chelsea the ball was flicked on from an aerial duel and fell near the feet of the 28-year-old Trippier just outside of his own penalty area. Clearly looking for his keeper to come and collect the ball, Trippier hesitated and hovered awkwardly as the Chelsea strikers began to put pressure on him. PREMIER LEAGUE WRAP: WHAT PRESSURE? REDS HIT FIVE IN SENSATIONAL STATEMENT In a slight lapse in concentration, the Three Lions hero took his eye off the ball as Lloris made his way to come and collect. Without seeing the big French shot stopper in his peripheral vision, Trippier made a back-pass towards his captain — except he wasn’t in position to claim it. As the pair looked up, the ball slowly trickled over the line and the Stamford Bridge faithful erupted as their side went 2-0 up.

Pedro opened the scoring for Chelsea in the second half, but the away side had not given up on the result. This changed when Olivier Giroud flicked a header on to Trippier, who then attempted a simple back pass to his goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. Instead, the English defender accidentally side-footed the ball past his stopper and doubled their bitter rivals’ lead. As expected, social media reacted incredulously to the moment and you can read a round-up below.

KIERAN TRIPPER has been dubbed Chelsea's "secret agent" and a "better finisher than Morata" as fans taunt the Spurs defender over his astonishing own goal and a tweet he sent five years ago.
