Antony's penalty revelation

Related Topics: Gabriel Slonina, Antony Santos

When Antony stepped up to take a penalty in the Carabao Cup win over Barnsley earlier this season, it was a new experience for the Brazilian.

Although he dusted himself after being fouled by visiting keeper Gabriel Slonina and converted his shot with aplomb and confidence, it was the first spot-kick he had taken in his professional career.

The goal was the second of our 7-0 triumph that has set up another home tie, against Leicester City, in the fourth round on Wednesday 30 October.

Speaking to club media, Antony was asked whether he had taken a penalty before in his career.
