[BRIT] Southampton took the lead through a Richard Shaw own goal after only 30 seconds. 2) usu If a course of action that someone takes harms their own interests, you can refer to it as an own goal.

Фразеологията на PONS е доста добра. Малко са им заглавните думи, за което писах май 2 пъти вече. |
