Is this the worst corner ever taken?

Lukas Podolski has failed to set the world alight during his loan spell at Inter Milan, and yesterday his time in Italy reached a new low.

The German international has not yet scored for the Serie A club, registering nine appearances since netting.

Then yesterday, in Inter's 1-0 home defeat by Fiorentina, Podolski took this corner (see below), when he chipped the ball away from goal, straight to an opposition player, who was standing about five yards away.

The day got even worse for the 29-year-old, he was substituted off in the 66th minute and then after the match, Inter coach Roberto Mancini said he "wasn't offering enough".

"Podolski must give more," Mancini said. "So it is not enough and he is the first to know that."
