At least 3 players should’ve been ahead of Gross to take it. I don’t care if he’s scored 122 pens in training this week. You DO NOT put a rusty, out of form player on a pen like that.
If Maupay had blasted that into row z I’d have accepted it. But that miss was just so obviously going the happen.
There is a tweet from an Albion fan , that shows a Palace player encroaching about 3 yards from the edge of the D to nearly inside the penalty area. I’ve been trying to download it, but for some reason I can’t. Anyway, the pen should have been retaken .
We would probably have missed again though.
Can’t remember to be honest. I would guess his record is probably 8 out of 10 ish which is fine, you can’t score them all.
That’s the one.
Player's foot is pretty much still on the line
Nit-picking to say that's encroachment

It was a crap penalty and got saved.That's it.
I quite like the flares and smoke bombs. Relatively harmless and adds atmosphere

You do know that players are not allowed in the D of the penalty area before the kick is taken?
Therefore the palace player is encroaching by approx 3 yards.

No excuses, a shit penalty. He never looked like scoring, zero conviction. He was poor in open play too, not a good night or few months for Gross.
That’s the one.
This one?

And had he been the player to clear the ball following the save then the penalty would have been retaken.
