Alexis Sanchez sees penalty saved and Ashley Young smashes rebound against the post as ex-Man United duo waste great chance for Inter Milan in their Serie A game at Sampdoria

Former Manchester United duo Alexis Sanchez and Ashley Young combined to squander a golden chance for Inter Milan in their game at Sampdoria on Wednesday afternoon.

The Serie A match was just 12 minutes old when Inter, who are chasing their rivals AC Milan at the top of the table, were awarded a penalty for handball following a VAR review by referee Paolo Valeri.

But presented with an opportunity to fire Inter into an early lead, Sanchez was too casual from 12 yards.
