'He is a MAD MAN!': Eric Bailly leaves fans in DISBELIEF on social media as his bizarre one-step, no-look penalty vs Egypt dumps Ivory Coast out of AFCON... with some joking that he 'turned into Jorginho, Bruno Fernandes and Roberto Firmino' all at once

Eric Bailly's bizarre penalty miss against Egypt dumped Ivory Coast out of the Africa Cup of Nations on Wednesday night - and fans couldn't get their head around the Manchester United defender's run-up.

The Elephants failed to advance to the quarter-finals of the competition after being held to a 0-0 draw over 120 minutes by Mohamed Salah and co, who then got the better of them in the resulting penalty shootout.

Bailly produced the only miss from 12 yards on the night, with his tame effort tipped onto the crossbar by Egypt goalkeeper Mohammed El Shenawy.
