‘Never seen anything like it’ – talkSPORT pundit left stunned by Dominic Solanke’s bizarre penalty miss
Alvin Martin was left stunned by Dominic Solanke's woeful penalty miss, saying: "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 with Sheffield United as he stood over a penalty kick.
It was Solanke who won the kick after a foul from Tom Davies, with the striker expected to find the net from 12 yards.
Unfortunately things didn't go exactly to plan for Solanke as he stepped up to take the spot-kick, as he slipped before hitting the ball twice as it ballooned over the crossbar and high into the stand behind.
Speaking on talkSPORT, Martin said: "I've never seen anything like that!
"He ran up to it, sharp, but he slips just before he makes contact and he hits the ball into the ground and it goes about two yards over the bar.

Solanke has enjoyed a brilliant season having already scored 16 goals and offered four assists for Bournemouth this term.
However his miss immediately gave Sheffield United a lift, with Gustavo Hamer giving the Blades a shock lead just minutes later.
Jack Robinson then made it 2-0 to Sheffield United, however goals from Dango Ouattara and Enes Unal meant that the Cherries came away with a much-deserved point.
