Collins: own goal own goals 1) usu In sport, if someone scores an own goal, they accidentally score a goal for the team they are playing against. [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. [BRIT] Because of the legislation I could not employ a woman. Women have made themselves unemployable. They have scored an own goal.

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