Javier Hernandez apologises for embarrassing failed Panenka penalty

They look great when they go in.

Javier Hernandez has accepted full responsibility after he squandered a stoppage time penalty with a failed attempt at a Panenka while in action for LA Galaxy on Sunday night.

With the game level at 2-2, the former Manchester United striker had the opportunity to give his side victory over Sporting Kansas City and – having already scored twice in the game – complete a hat-trick in the process.

It wasn’t to be. Having already converted a penalty minutes earlier to level the game, Chicharito attempted to loft the ball over John Pulskamp from 12 yards.

The goalkeeper, however, had the measure of the Mexican, remaining on his feet to comfortably catch his tame effort.

Penalty to win the game, deep into stoppage time…
