Sanogo was handed his chance to shine for struggling Huddersfield in their Championship game.
And the former Arsenal striker was given a golden opportunity to get off the mark after Aaron Rowe was tripped by Curtis Nelson in the second half.
Sanogo stepped up but dragged his penalty past the post as Huddersfield were forced to settle for a goalless draw.
The 28-year-old forward could not believe his miss and pulled his shirt over his head in dismay.
The French striker joined the Terriers last month after being released by Toulouse.
But Arsenal fans will not be surprised by his penalty shocker after failing to score a single goal for the Gunners.

And social media reaction saw one fan claim ‘nothing changes’ as his misfiring record in front of goal continued.
It also extended Huddersfield’s shocking run this season after missing their third penalty from three attempts this season.
Sanogo was taken off after his miss and will have to find his touch in front of goal if he wants to earn an extended deal beyond the end of this season.
