Penalties


East Kent Saint

Once again, Kane proves the point that it's very hard to score a penalty at St Mary's :-)

 

In fairness, the keeper was well off his line and with VAR it would have been retaken.

 

But as someone already pointed out, Kane puts them at a height that gives keepers a chance.

 

At the other end, their player put his at a similar height, Pickford went the right way and got two hands to it but still couldn't keep it out. If he had cheated and stepped off his line like their keeper did then he probably would have saved it.

Kane doesn't have a good record at St Mary's win penalties !!!

 

I blame that and the commentator's curse for last night's miss. It was inevitable after they had bigged up his penalty taking ability.

Think the Kosovo player taking a yellow for no doubt infringing just as Kane was in his final stage of addressing the ball turned out to be a cracking bit of gamesmanship.
