I'm not sure about who makes that call, but I would call it an own goal as well. He jumped and tried to head it wide of the goal. He miscalculated. I would have given Beckham the goal if it just inadvertently deflected off of a player who wasn't actively trying to head/direct the ball wide of goal.
