Bailly's mistake settles relegation battle

Borussia Monchengladbach goalkeeper Logan Bailly's absurd own-goal gifted Kaiserslautern a 1-0 victory in Friday night's Bundesliga relegation battle. The Belgium international punched Christian Tiffert's corner into the wrong net, resulting in a defeat which leaves his side five points adrift of safety, with all their relegation rivals still to play this weekend. Kaiserslautern's win, meanwhile, lifts them four points clear of the relegation play-off spot. After what had been a low-key game overall, Bailly bizarrely punched Christian Tiffert's 60th minute corner just wide of the post for another set-piece. Failing to heed that warning, 60 seconds later, the shot-stopper swatted the midfielder's next delivery straight into the net under no pressure whatsoever.
