AC Milan star Ibrahimovic admits he'll give up penalty duties after costly miss against Hellas Verona

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has taken himself off AC Milan penalty duty after missing his third spot-kick of the season on Sunday.

However, the veteran striker did redeem himself by popping up in injury time to secure a 2-2 draw with Hellas Verona for the Serie A leaders.

The Swedish veteran's 66th-minute miss didn't defeat Milan, who recovered from an early two-goal deficit to snatch a point, with Ibrahimovic rising highest to nod home in the dying stages of the Serie A match at the San Siro.
