ARSENAL loanee Hector Bellerin scored a HORROR own goal to seal boyhood club Real Betis’ 2-0 defeat to Sevilla.
Sevilla were leading 1-0 heading into the final ten minutes of the LaLiga clash.
And right-back Gonzalo Montiel found himself in acres of space down Betis’ left-hand side.
The Argentine whipped an inviting cross into the box, which both forward Rafa Mir and Betis defender German Pezzella somehow missed.
Bellerin was in the wrong place at the wrong time and he was unable to adjust his feet in time to prevent planting the ball into the back of his own net.
Despite Sunday’s loss, Bellerin and Betis have enjoyed a good start to their league campaign.
The defeat keeps them on 21 points in fifth place, two behind defending champions Atletico Madrid.
Three points for Sevilla puts them level on points with title-chasing Real Madrid, but Real Sociedad still top the table.

Bellerin says he doesn’t know what the plan is next summer, but he’s focussed on enjoying his time at Betis.
He told EIDesmarque: “I don’t know, but I’ve always said if I didn’t want to be here next season, I wouldn’t have come from the beginning.
“There are many things to be decided but what I want to do is enjoy this season that I am here. And what has to happen will happen.”
