'I've never seen anything like it': talkSPORT pundit stunned by Dominic Solanke's bizarre missed penalty
Alvin Martin was stunned by Dominic Solanke's unfortunate penalty miss and said: “I've never seen anything like it!”
The Bournemouth star had the perfect opportunity to give the Cherries an early lead in their Premier League clash against Sheffield United when he stepped over a penalty kick.
It was Solanke who won the shot after a foul by Tom Davies, and the striker was expected to find the net from 12 yards.
Unfortunately, things didn't exactly go to plan for Solanke when he stepped up to take the penalty, as he slipped before hitting the ball twice, which went over the crossbar and crashed into the back stands.
Speaking on talkSPORT, Martin said: “I’ve never seen anything like it!
“He ran towards it, sharply, but he slipped just before making contact and hit the ball on the ground and went about two meters over the bar.
