When Manchester City were awarded a penalty toward the end of the first half against Aston Villa, Riyad Mahrez knew just where to go.
Rodri hared off in pursuit of the ball as he fancied another stab at maintaining his 100 per cent record for the club - despite the fact that his one previous effort, while successful, was so bad that Pep Guardiola said that the midfielder would not be taking them again. Find someone with the confidence that Rodri has to take penalties after all that.
Mahrez knew though that while the ball is important for taking a penalty, it is useless without the spot. The City winger headed straight for the place where the kick would be taken to mark his territory and wait for the ball to come to him.
