Admit Galatians includes old, embarrassing mistake (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
own goal
'mistake' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'admit galatians includes old embarrassing' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'admit' could be 'own' (own can mean to admit or acknowledge) and 'own' is present in the answer.
'old' could be 'o' (abbreviation) and 'o' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'gal' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for own goal that I've seen before include "that the opposition may thank you for?" , "Shooting oneself in the foot" , "A score against self, as by soccer player" , "Self-damaging mistake" , "bad mistake" .)
