As regards the Marcus Rashford penalty - I do think the more you supposedly do to fool the keeper, faltering run up, hop, skip and jump, look one way, kick the other, try to get him to dive before you roll in your kick ......... ALL of them offer a smart keeper clues. It is like being clued-in to the body-language of someone who is spinning you a lie.

A penalty kick just needs to end up in the net. It does not need to illustrate how clever and deceptive the kicker is ... and that's what some of them are saying, look at me look at me, look at me.

Some penalty takers will very quickly glance at their favoured corner before the whistle is blown, and they do it without even moving their head, but if you can catch the eye movement, it's worth going that way, because they can't help doing it - it's the bit of security they need.

A very curved run up makes it very easy to kick to the side you are coming from, and necessitates very obviously opening up the body to go the other side.

I hate matches being decided on penalties, but there is a lot to scoring and to saving them. Personally I used to try and watch the kicking foot as closely as possible and only go on the very B of the bang (because I had an exaggerated view of the speed of my own reflexes and the spring in my calf muscles to take me to any point in the goal). And yes I'd contend Harry Maguire's penalty was as near perfect as you can get, simple technique, no obvious clues, struck viciously into the top corner. If a goalie stopped that I'd want VAR to check how early he moved.

Every wrinkle the kicker comes up with is a sign of weakness, not of strength. If the kicker is 100% confident he should have no interest in the keeper whatsoever. And right down to grassroots level you can find absolutely excellent penalty takers.
