Wayne Rooney failed to execute a penalty kick last night against Arsenal. If he scored, then ManUtd will win 2-0, instead of 1-0.
Sir Alex Ferguson said that he was confused to see such penalty kick from Rooney. He admitted that it was the first time he saw Rooney took a strange penalty like that.
ManUtd got a penalty in the 71st minute after Gael Clichy made a handsball in penalty box. It was a chance for the Red Devils to collect double points, and Rooney became the executor. Before taking the penalty, Rooney face looked pale, and nervous. And instead of taking a slow steps before the shot, he actually made a fast run, and kick the ball. The ball then bounced high, and didn't even come close the goal post.
"It was an unusual penalty from Wayne Rooney," said Ferguson after the game.
"I never saw him shoot the ball onto the crossbar before. It gives motivation to Arsenal, but we survived incredibly tonight," said the Scotland coach.
This is the fourth failed penalty from Rooney in all his Premier League career.
