Last night, Tottenham keeper Hugo Lloris produced a huge stop to keep Sergio Aguero’s spot kick out during Spurs’ 1-0 victory over Manchester City in the Champions League.And while most modern goalkeepers study previous penalty attempts and decide which way to go days in advance, Seaman left it to the last second.Whenever there was a penalty, I always used to think, Heres a chance at glory, he told talkSPORT. Its the closest I would ever get to the feeling of scoring a goal.I didnt do any homework on penalties. I used to just look at the run up.A good penalty taker will swap sides. Look at Matt Le Tissier, he always swapped sides.

As soon as they put their head down, I would decide which way I went, so they couldnt see which way I was going to go.This is what makes Hazard so prolific from the penalty spot, according to Seaman.2

The Chelsea man locks eyes with the keeper, waits for him to move, before slotting the ball the other way.
