Tottenham striker Harry Kane met the ball at the near post with a ferocious volley from the corner right into the back of the net. Unfortunately for Kane, however, it was his own net (watch video below).

The Spurs striker put Swansea 2-1 up with his sliced own goal in the 31st minute, connecting with Jonjo Shlevey's set piece. Christian Eriksen levelled for Spurs in ther 65th minute as the match ended 2-2 at the Liberty Stadium.

In the match, Eriksen stunned Swansea with two brilliant free-kicks after Kane had scored a spectacular own goal.

Eriksen scored an 89th-minute winner on his previous visit to the Liberty Stadium and his dead-ball accuracy spared Spurs' blushes in a thrilling 2-2 Barclays Premier League draw.

Tottenham dominated for long periods but could not take their chances in open play and secure what would have been a fourth straight league win for the first time since January 2014.

Twice, they had to come from behind after Andre Ayew's header and then a horrible Kane mistake had handed Swansea the lead.

England striker Kane has only scored once for Spurs this season, in last week's 4-1 victory over league leaders Manchester City, but he found his own net when he miscued Shelvey's corner.
