Footballer's mistake (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

own goal

(Other definitions for own goal that I've seen before include "action that backfired?" , "Self-inflicted wound" , "Costly footballing error" , ""Wrong-net" score" , "A score against one's self or team" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
