Wahbi Khazri (ASSE) earned a point for Les Verts in the derby against OL (1-1), holding his nerve in injury time and converting his 12th consecutive penalty in Ligue 1 Uber Eats.

Wahbi Khazri scored a penalty for the second time this season in Ligue 1 Uber Eats against Lyon (1-1), and is the holder of the longest ongoing series of converted penalties in the league among current players: 12 in a row!

Since 16 December 2017 and an attempt dispatched over Alphonse Areola's crossbar during a Rennes-PSG (1-4), the 30-year-old AS Saint-Etienne striker has not missed a single penalty he has had to take in Ligue 1 Uber Eats.

He is ahead of Angers midfielder Thomas Mangani, who has seven in a row (2 from 2 this season), and Kylian Mbappé (PSG, 7 from 8 in Ligue 1 Uber Eats) with six: the Parisian was 100% successful last season, after having his only miss in the league on 17 March 2019 against OM.

Khazri in fourth

Tunisia international Khazri, who scored his 63rd league goal in the derby, has tasted success with 16 of the 18 penalties he has taken in Ligue 1 Uber Eats, his only misses coming on 30 August 2015 (with Bordeaux against Nantes) and three and a half years ago with Rennes against PSG.

Wahbi Khazri is fourth on the all-time list but is still some way behind Monaco's Wissam Ben Yedder, and his 22 conversions from 29 attempts, as well as current team-mate Ryad Boudebouz with 20. Neymar (PSG) is in third place with his 19 from 21 success rate from the spot.
