Folarin Balogun had a night to forget on his first start for Monaco, missing two penalties as his side were beaten 1-0 at home by Nice.<\/p>\n

Arsenal news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old arrived at Monaco from Arsenal in August for an initial fee of \u00a325.7m after a sparkling season on loan in Ligue 1 with Reims last season.<\/p>\n

Balogun scored 21 goals in just 37 league games for Reims and earned himself a permanent move to Monaco, signing a five-year contract.<\/p>\n

He has already opened his account for his new club, scoring after coming off the bench in a 2-2 draw with Lorient, but on his first start for Monaco, things did not go so well.<\/p>\n

The United States international missed a spot-kick after just 12 minutes and did the same after 56, with goalkeeper Marcin Bulka saving both efforts.<\/p>\n

Balogun\u2019s night was ended when he was taken off after 67 minutes, replaced by Wassim Ben Yedder, but things got worse for him as his misses were punished late on.<\/p>\n

Former Chelsea man Jeremie Boga came off the bench to score the only goal of the game for Nice in stoppage time, moving them ahead of Monaco and to the top of the Ligue 1 table.<\/p>\n

The young forward will hope to get a chance to make amends when Monaco next play at home to Marseille on 30 September, when he will try and win the fans over after a disastrous night.<\/p>\n
