As someone used to scoring a lot of goals, Jamie Vardy clearly doesn't like it when he misses.

On Tuesday, Leicester City took on Sevilla in the Champions League. With two minutes to go, Vardy had the chance to put his team three goals ahead.

As you can probably guess from the following video, he didn't manage to score.

It looked pretty painful, but Twitter seemed to see the funny side.

Finally, this person dropped the mic.

If we had to guess, we'd say that won't be the last time that video will be deployed on Twitter.
