MARTIN SAMUEL: Hindsight is a wonderful thing... sadly it can't take penalties!

There were 125 minutes gone when Anderson stepped on to the pitch at the 2008 Champions League final. The fifth minute of injury time, in extra time. He didn't get a chance to touch the ball before referee Lubos Michel blew the final whistle.

So when the Brazilian took Manchester United's sixth penalty in the shootout against Chelsea, it was his first contribution to the game. He scored, so Sir Alex Ferguson is a genius.

Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho did not, so Gareth Southgate got it wrong. History is written by the winners.
