Dan Burn (right) during his first spell at Wigan
Albion signing Dan Burn made an unfortunate return from injury for Wigan in the Championship.
The giant central defender, who joins the Seagulls in January, conceded a penalty, was booked and scored a 96th minute own goal in their 4-0 defeat at Preston.
Burn was introduced in first half stoppage time for injured ex-Albion transfer target Nick Powell.
Albion signed him in August, then immediately loaned him back to Wigan to recover from a broken foot bone and gain game time.
Albion will not be worried by Burn's uncomfortable comeback.
Fellow central defender Shane Duffy, just awarded a new five-year deal, had a torrid period with own goals just before joining the Seagulls from Blackburn in August 2016.
