An U19s Shakhtar Donetsk game showed Arsenal fans how it is done as they performed a two-man penalty in a Uefa Youth League match against Atalanta. In October 2005, Thierry Henry and Robert Pires attempted a similar feat, only to find themselves red-faced as Pires failed to lay the ball off correctly for his fellow countryman. The Shakhtar goal was scored by Georgy Sudakov and the match finished in a 2-2 draw. The “tandem” penalty routine has been successfully carried out by other players too. Lionel Messi passed to Luis Suárez, who scored for Barcelona in 2016; Johan Cruyff and Jesper Olsen made the routine famous by exchanging passes after a penalty for Ajax in 1982; and Belgium’s Rik Coppens and Andre Piters pulled off the ruse against Iceland in 1957.
