Premier League penalty takers: Man Utd, Liverpool, Man City & all 20 clubs spot kick specialists

Who is each Premier League club's first-choice penalty converter, and who is on spot-kick duty if there is no designated taker?

Riyad Mahrez stepped up to the penalty spot in the absence of Sergio Aguero, who had already been substituted, and had the chance to clinch a last-minute 1-0 win over Liverpool in the Premier League.

The Algeria international was involved in a tiff with Gabriel Jesus over who should take the penalty, and he took to the spot – only to send it sky-high into Row Z of the Anfield Road end of Anfield.

So who is each club's designated penalty-taker, or are duties rotated?

    2West Ham | Marko Arnautovic

    Marko Arnautovic is the Hammers' first-choice penalty-taker this season and convereted from the spot in the early season fixture against Bournemouth, beating Asmir Begovic.

    In the 2017-18, however, spot-kick duty was on rotation – with the likes of Mark Noble, Andre Ayew, and Manuel Lanzini all assuming the role.

    3Watford | Troy Deeney

    Troy Deeney is Watford's premier penalty-taker but missed his last two spot-kicks of the 2017-18 season, though scored three – including a last-minute effort against Arsenal at the death of regular time that won the game 2-1.

    Deeney netted three penalties in the 2016-17 season, and six spot-kicks the campaign prior.

    4Tottenham | Harry Kane

    The Tottenham forward is the designated penalty-taker for both club and country, with two of his 30 goals scored in the 2017-18 coming in the form of a spot-kick.

    Kane's strike from the spot against Brighton in September took his tally to 13 top-flight penalties since August 2015 – making him the highest-scoring penalty-taker in the Premier League, while he has failed to find the net with just two of his 15 efforts in that time.
