Jamie Carragher has joked that Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah will be doing well if he just scores an own goal every 100 appearances, making reference to his personal own-goal ratio with the Reds! The defender could count himself unfortunate to have his name on the wrong scoresheet in Wednesday's League Cup clash with West Ham.

A defensive muddle saw Wataru Endo smack the ball against Quansah, who knew little about it, as the Hammers went ahead on 21 minutes. It's the first own goal of Quansah's senior career.

Carragher, 46, himself put a number through his own net during his playing days, including one in the 2006 FA Cup final against, incidentally, West Ham. The former defender, who played 737 times for the Reds, scored at the wrong end seven times across his career - but that does little to diminish his ever-strong reputation.

Shortly after Quansah's own goal, Sky Sports commentator Seb Hutchinson, referencing Carragher's own famous own foal record, remarked: "In your career, you are going to score an own goal or two aren't you?"

Liverpool great Carragher laughed and soon responded: "Yeah, yeah, yeah! If he scores one every 100 games then he's done well. That was my ratio."

And at the start of the second half, once more referencing Quansah, the commentator said it was "hopefully his last" own goal. Carragher joked: "Oh no, it won't be his last!"

Quansah was starting for the first time since Liverpool's opening match of the season - where he was substituted at half-time in the 2-0 win over Ipswich Town. The 21-year-old, who since played 82 minutes for England Under-21s earlier this month, has totted-up 35 first-team matches overall for Liverpool's senior side.
