Dango Ouattara missed his penalty against West Ham United, knocking his Brentford FC side out in the FA Cup Round of 16. His Panenka attempt failed to fool the goalkeeper.

Despite the disappointment, Brentford manager Keith Andrews spoke out in support of his player:

No, I'm not angry at all. It's tough to miss, but it takes guts to step up and take a penalty. He practices that a lot. If the ball had gone in, everyone would be praising him. He has my full support.

He added: "We've often seen players get criticized after missing a penalty, and that's ridiculous. The only thing that matters is that he tried." Despite the setback, Andrews wants his striker to stay confident and keep taking initiative on the pitch.
