Think that Paul Pogba's penalty technique is odd? Think again. Atlanta United's Josef Martinez scores hilarious penalty.

Many people ridicule Paul Pogba for his stuttered run up to take his penalties. 

He scored against Leicester and Brighton but missed against Burnley and Everton - with his latest effort from 12 yards seeing him take 26 steps and take longer than Usain Bolt does to run the 100m.

Despite this, Atlanta United's Josef Martinez may have beaten him to the most bizarre penalty run up to date. 

He scored from twelve yards at Atlanta United beat New York City 3-1 at home, seeing his side progress in the MLS Cup Conference Semi-finals. 

Martinez'  hop, skip and jump technique appeared to fool New York City goalkeeper Sean Johnson, as he dived the wrong way. 

Martínez, 25, joined Atlanta United in 2017.
