Is this the best penalty ever taken? It's certainly one of the cleverest.Ezequiel Calvente netted the peg for Spain against Italy in an under 19s match. The Real Betis youngster used his run up to make it appear that he was going to strike the ball with his right foot, only to poke it cheekily home with his left.
The befuddled Italian goalkeeper reacts in an "exasperated" manner, seemingly he thinks being tricked is unfair.
