Jason Puncheon to remain Palace penalty taker despite Spurs miss
JASON PUNCHEON looks certain to remain as Crystal Palace’s penalty taker despite the spot kick miss against Tottenham last week that has entered football folklore.
With the score 0-0 at White Hart Lane, Puncheon shot so wildly over the bar that the ball nearly went out of the ground.
The Eagles face Tony Pulis’ former side Stoke at Selhurst Park tomorrow and the manager said: “I’ve spoken to him and I hope he continues to take any more penalties we get. He would have felt his world has caved in at the time but everybody in life has their ups and downs.
