Pep Guardiola admits he is concerned that Manchester City don't have 'a real specialist to take penalties' ahead of return of the Champions League... despite Rodri netting the first spot kick of his career against Tottenham

Spanish international Rodri faces a battle to remain Manchester City's penalty-taker despite ending their spot-kick hoodoo.

Rodri converted the opening goal of City's 3-0 win against Spurs after he volunteered to take the first penalty of his club career.

However manager Pep Guardiola wasn't convinced by the quality of the strike that Hugo Lloris got a hand to and nearly tipped around the post.

Rodri volunteered to take and score the first penalty of his club career against Tottenham

It was only the 10th penalty City have scored from in the last 18 attempts in the league with Sergio Aguero, Gabriel Jesus, Raheem Sterling, Kevin de Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan all missing.
