Aaron Ramsey admits he was unaware penalty to keep Wales' World Cup hopes alive came at home of Panenka

Aaron Ramsey has admitted he was unaware his Panenka penalty to help Wales win a point in Serbia came at the same venue as the original from 41 years ago.

The Arsenal midfielder said he decided to convert his spot-kick with a cheeky chip when goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic tried to use mind games to unsettle him.

Ramsey produced a magic moment amid high pressure at the Rajko Mitic Stadium in Belgrade by lofting the ball inside the right post, 41 years after Antonin Panenka did it first to win Czechoslovakia the 1976 European Championships against West Germany.
