This was the shockingly unsporting moment Swansea City player Bafetimbi Gomis tried and failed to put off former Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli as he stepped up to take a penalty last night.

Gomis, playing for loan side Marseilles, clashed with the controversial Italian striker as he lined up a spot-kick just seven minutes into his debut for Nice.

Gomis, clearly furious about the awarding of the penalty, tried to put Balotelli off by walking in front of him before being shoved aside.

He then proceeded to scream at Balotelli from just a few yards as he tried to calm himself for his big moment.

The unedifying scene was captured by the cameras of French TV broadcaster Canal+ , with Gomis' efforts falling flat as Balotelli dispatched the spot kick with ease.

Balotelli went on to score another as Nice beat Marseilles 3-2 to go top of the league. Gomis himself was on the scoresheet as he netted his second goal in four matches since his summer loan move back to France.
