Only one of four Liverpool players could score from the spot during a penalty shoot-out...

Fortunately for Philippe Coutinho, Raheem Sterling and Lazar Markovic, they were taking part in the 'dizzy penalty' challenge, the latest internet craze that has seen professional players look like the rest of us.

The challenge involves making yourself so dizzy, by running around in a circle, that you can no longer stand up, then running up and attempting to score from the spot.

Brazilian star Coutinho was first up and didn't even manage to make it to the ball before falling over, before he got back up and fired wired.

Lazar Markovic was next and although he managed to keep his footing he too couldn't find the target, instead firing over.

Raheem Sterling was next and he too struggled to keep his footing and although he did hit the target, his shot was so weak it barely made it to the goalkeeper.

Finally was Jordon Ibe, he spared the blushes of the others.

Ibe looked almost completely composed as he stepped up and slotted to the keeper's right.
