FOLARIN BALOGUN had a game to forget during his first start for new club Monaco.<\/p>\n
The former Arsenal striker missed TWO <\/strong>penalties in the Ligue 1 clash against Nice.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Balogun, 22, joined Monaco in the summer from the Gunners for a fee in the region of \u00a334million.<\/p>\n The striker spent last season on loan in the French top flight and progressed to be one of the best in the competition.<\/p>\n Balogun scored 21 goals in 37 appearances for Stade de Reims which saw him attract interest from across Europe.<\/p>\n However, Balogun appears to still be building his confidence at Monaco as he struggled to convert from the spot against Nice on two occasions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The first effort brought a good save from goalkeeper Marcin Bu\u0142ka, although the shot was not far enough in the corner.<\/p>\n The second penalty saw Balogun try to put more power on his shot, however, the Polish stopper was there once again to deny him,<\/p>\n To make matters worse for the USA international, former Chelsea prospect Jeremie Boga went on to score a 91st minute winner for Nice.<\/p>\n The game ended 1-0, which saw the happy visitors rise to the top of Ligue 1.<\/p>\n <\/picture>LIN IT TO WIN IT <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>GAB SMACKED <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>RAM SOLO <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>END OF THE DE <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n Monaco and Balogun sit second above Brest.<\/p>\n Manager Adi Hutter gave his support to Balogun as the Austrian suggested it was down to bad luck.<\/p>\n He said: "He was unlucky today, but we win together and we lose together.<\/p>\n "We have to help him a lot because he is frustrated too.
