FANS have begged Gabriel Jesus to stop taking penalties after he missed by yards against Argentina – just nine days after he did the same for Manchester City.
The Brazilian forward, 22, confidently stepped up to the spot during Friday’s friendly in Saudi Arabia.

But he conspired to miss – badly – sending the ball trundling miles wide.
His scuff was compounded when Argentina were awarded a penalty just minutes later, with Lionel Messi missing his effort, only to tap in the rebound.
Jesus’ dreadful attempt was almost a carbon copy of his shambolic effort against Atalanta just a week ago, but to the other side of the goal.
Just last week, fans were calling it a “great Diana Ross impression” as he horribly scuffed his penalty in City’s 1-1 Champions League draw.
It’s not the first spot-kick Jesus has missed for his nation too, having fluffed his only other attempt against Peru.
Now fans have flocked to social media begging the Brazilian to give up taking penalties.
One said: “Gabriel Jesus must just stop taking penalties. This is embarrassing now.”
Another wrote: “What kinda penalty was that from Gabriel Jesus?”
A third added: “Gabriel Jesus worse than Rashford at penalties.”
One even claimed: “Gabriel Jesus is trash at penalties like literally.”
