It worked only because Bournemouth missed the fourth penalty. Kennedy did not make a save. It was very different at Watford. Bavs had made some tremendous saves that night. Rob Elliot failed to save any of the Watford penalties - one missed and six were scored. We missed one and had one saved.
Despite that, I think Rob Elliot was overall a better keeper than Bavs - but on that particular occasion it was a bad mistake to substitute Bavs. |
