His ones against Man. United were even better than those ones yesterday (he missed the third but who cares the match was well over by that point)

Here's a thing: would you consider it harder to score from open play or from the spot? In the former you have the momentum and possibly the element of surprise, plus your teammates to help you out with assists etc, but the other team are there to stop you. In penalties, you have the goal to yourself but it's just you and there must be massive pressure.

Thoughts?
Depends entirely on the goal. Generally from open play though.
