Leicester fans will remember Yann Kermorgant for his play-off semi-final Panenka-style penalty miss in 2010, and the Frenchman was at it again for Reading.

The 35-year-old is famous for all the wrong reasons among Leicester supporters after his embarrassing miss in the semi-final second leg defeat by Cardiff in 2010, chipping the ball into David Marshall's hands in a shoot-out. 

He didn't play for Leicester again following the miss, but tried the cheeky chip again for Reading on Boxing Day in their 3-1 win over Norwich.

Luckily for Kermorgant, although his 'Panenka' penalty hit the crossbar, Gareth McCleary was on hand to superbly knock home the rebound and spare his blushes. 

He has taken two penalties for Reading this season, scoring in the win over Wigan in November and the defeat by Brentford in September.

Reading, who went ahead through Kermorgant's goal in the first half, are third in the Sky Bet Championship, having won eight of the last 10 games.
