Montella's misplaced faith in misfiring Niang costs Milan

Penalties are becoming something of a nightmare for AC Milan striker M'Baye Niang, with the Rossoneri forward's latest miss having cost his side a share of the spoils against Roma.

The youngster failed from 12 yards against Crotone last time out and, in Monday's Serie A clash with Roma, he could only direct his strike straight at Wojciech Szczesny.

In fact, Monday's unsuccessful effort has made it four misses from seven top-flight penalties that the 21-year-old has taken. Time to pass on the penalty duties, M'Baye?
