Raheem Sterling attempted a Panenka penalty against Leicester in Manchester City's shootout victory on Tuesday and got it all wrong.

Carabao Cup holders City were taken to a penalty shootout by Leicester after a 1-1 draw in the quarter-final clash at the King Power, where Sterling stepped up to take City's second spot-kick, with the score tied at 1-1.

The England international elected to go for the chipped, Panenka-style effort, but got too much loft on it, lifting the ball over the crossbar.
