The 8th goal

Whilst watching a video of Emre's goal against Birmingham last season I noticed that the ball may have been deflected off Michael Owen taking it past Maik Taylor. Above is a picture of the ball apparently about to hit Owen, you can decide for yourself. In the picture the ball appears to be heading towards the diving Maik Taylor with only Owen left to hit, and the ball ends up deflecting away for Taylor after this point. It doesn't really matter because any goal is a goal, but its kept me amused over the last day. At first it seems Owen has claimed the goal before accepting that Emre will get it (see below). But is he celebrating his own goal, or Emre's?
