Phil Jones' Terrible Penalty Flew over Bar and Hit a Fan Flush in the Face

Phil Jones missed a penalty in Manchester United's shootout loss to Sunderland on Wednesday night. However, what he lacked in ability to put the ball where he intended, he made up for in unfortunate slapstick comedy.

First of all, the familiar old jokes came out about how far into space the ball had travelled.

No matter how many times I see that Phil Jones pen, I can't work out what kind of technique that was. Utterly bizarre

This Vine later revealed that the ball soared straight into the crowd and caught a fan flush in the face.

Keep your eye on the top left and you'll see for yourself.
