Watch: Sanchez fluffs rebound of poor penalty before firing past Neuer

Alexis Sanchez took advantage of a dubious penalty call from referee Milorad Mazic - eventually.
The tireless Chilean didn't manage to stretch Bayern Munich's Manuel Neuer with his attempt from 12 yards in Wednesday's Champions League Round of 16 clash, then proceeded to fluff the rebound. The defenders were unable to win possession when the ball was tickled into the air, however, allowing Arsenal's undoubted player of the year to volley it home.
His strike cancelled out an earlier dazzling effort from Arjen Robben.
