During Sunday's 1-1 draw between Chelsea and West Ham at Upton Park, Blues midfielder Frank Lampard completed the unusual feat of successfully making three straight penalty kicks.But only one goal was counted. Why you ask?
Lampard ran up and buried his first spot kick, but head referee Mike Dean whistled for encroachment in the box and asked for the penalty to be redone.
Lampard beat the goalkeeper again, only for Dean to demand ANOTHER kick be taken for ANOTHER encroachment offense!
Full of disbelief, Lampard put his head down and made it three in a row. Only this time Dean let it stand.
After all this, I say shame on Mike Dean for letting this weird occurence happen. There are at least one or two players running into the box before every penalty is taken.
On another note, how bad must West Ham keeper Robert Green feel?
