BBC Wales just got brilliantly screwed over by their own running EURO 2016 joke

Can't believe they actually did this...

Richard Beech

Throughout EURO 2016, BBC Wales has been getting behind their team.

And after beating Northern Ireland on Saturday, Wales will now go on to face Hungary or Belgium in the quarter-finals of the tournament.

BBC Wales have been getting on board with EURO2016 by changing their name on Twitter to the name of the most recent player to score for Wales.

The account is run by a guy called Owen Williams.

So what happens when an opposition player scores an own goal?

Well…

It went down well.

Great work, Owen!
