Football fans have taken to Twitter to voice their displeasure over the new 'ABBA' penalty shootout format.

The new style shootout was first trialled at the Women's U17 Championships in May, but has now been used by Premier League clubs.

Leicester and West Brom's pre-season Premier League Asia Trophy clash went to penalties following a 1-1 draw.

The rules of the shootout follow that of a tie-break in Tennis. Team A goes first once, Team B goes twice, Team A goes twice and so on.

UEFA believe the new format takes away the pressure of a team always going second - making it fairer.

But aside from the large number of "The Winner Takes It All" puns, football fans don't seem totally convinced by the new format.

Leicester won the shootout 7-6.

Crystal Palace and Liverpool are also competing in the Premier League Asia Trophy and will face the same rules should they reach penalties.
