He had a great pace! He got the chance to score but was fouled by the keeper which resulted in the penalty.

Chelsea's Mourinho sees Lampard meet Diarra axing
tribalfooball.com - January 06, 2007
Chelsea thumped Macclesfield 6-1 to move into the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Frank Lampard struck a hat-trick, but was only played after Blues boss Jose Mourinho dropped Lassana Diarra for arriving late.
Mourinho declared: "Frank Lampard should not have been playing, he should have been on the bench because I like to always have some ammunition on there in case things are not going very well.
"But Lassana Diarra was 40 minutes late for the team meeting. The meeting was set for 11.30am and he arrived at 12.10pm.
"The meeting is for the people who are playing and I decided to play Lampard and not youngster Michael Woods because it would have been too much for him to start a game with that responsibility. So I started with Lamps and in the first half he was absolutely crucial for us."
Lampard put Chelsea in front in the 16th minute from close range but Coca-Cola League Two side Macclesfield stunned the champions when a mistake by Ricardo Carvalho allowed John Murphy to fire an equaliser five minutes before the break.
But Lampard put Chelsea in front within a minute and when Macclesfield keeper Tommy Lee was red-carded for controversially bringing down Andriy Shevchenko. Lampard converted the spot-kick for his 12th goal of the season.
The dismissal was a turning point in the game as Town did not possess a reserve goalkeeper on the bench so captain and defender David Morley went in goal.
But Chelsea completed a rout with further strikes from Shaun Wright-Phillips, Mikel Jon Obi and Carvalho.
Mourinho said: "It was a game we had to win because we have ambition in the competition.
"We had to win because we are a team of professionals at a high level and normally Macclesfield are not good enough to beat us.
"With the score 2-1 in the first half, the game is open and we knew if we scored the third goal, the game would be over.
"When we scored the third goal and they lost the keeper at the same time and the game was over."
Shevchenko looked to have slipped before colliding with Lee for the spot-kick and Mourinho defended the Ukrainian from suggestions that he may have dived.
Mourinho added: "I don't think he dived. It looked a penalty. I feel sorry that it was a red card but it is the law for the game.
"The referee cannot say 'this is a rich team, this is a poor team, this is a top player, this is a boy'. The rule in the game is 22 players and all of them are the same.
"If my keeper does that it is a red card, so if their keeper does it, it is a red card. It was not good because the game was over but it is the law. He had to go but I felt sorry for him." -

the scoreline was 1 - 1 before the goalie was sent off.
in football the number of goal counts, not the number of chances. -
