Shakhtar score cheeky two-man penalty in the Uefa Youth League

The Ukrainian side succeeded where Robert Pires and Thierry Henry failed all those years ago.

SHAKHTAR DONETSK FACED Atalanta in the Uefa Youth League this afternoon — drawing 2-2 in Italy. 

The visiting Ukrainians were handed an opportunity to open the scoring on 25 minutes when midfielder Jacopo Da Riva committed a foul in his own box. 

Mykhailo Mudryk stepped up to take, but instead of shooting, he rolled the ball into the path of team-mate Sudakov, who finished past the grounded goalkeeper. 

It brought back memories of that infamous occasion Arsenal pair Robert Pires and Thierry Henry completely botched a similar spot-kick against Manchester City back in 2005.
