That's not a Panenka.

I mean, you're right - it's a toe bog. But for early 90s English football (especially second tier), it probably counted.

Sounds like a bit of an all round disaster between Collins and Kelleher that led to a Chelsea penalty for their second goal. No penalty saving heroics from Kelleher this time around.

The pass from Collins was hit too hard and too far away from Kelleher, meaning he had to stretch and that’s what caused the problem. A few minutes into the match, Collins had hit a similarly problematic back pass hospital ball slowly to Kelleher which had to lunge at to clear the danger. Collins really has to clean that sloppiness out of his game.

So what you're saying is the most likely person to put Kelleher in a situation that he'll get injured is Collins? Well hot dawg

It's years since I've seen a keeper successfully hold his ground for a panenka/straight down the middle effort. I remember Bruce Grobelaar doing it about 30 years ago and it stuck in my head ever since because it was so comically unusual. Great read form Kelleher - 99 times out of 100 the keeper dives out of the way of those.

It's just happened again in the AFCON final. Two in just over a week, maybe keepers are being told to hold their ground more often these days.
