The penalty hero for Ireland a fortnight ago, Troy Parrott missed a 99th-minute spotter as AZ Alkmaar were beaten 1-0 by FC Twente on Sunday evening. 

The in-form Dubliner had the chance to earn his side a point in the final moment of the game, but saw his attempted 'Panenka' go over the bar.

Delighted FC Twente players immediately surrounded the former Spurs striker, who had earlier been booked in the match.

Parrott -- who was part of the side that had too much for Shels last week -- has now missed three consecutive penalties in the Eredivisie.
