Van Nistelrooy maintains his 100% penalty kick record

RUUD VAN NISTELROOY maintained his 100% spot-kick record at Old Trafford on Saturday and targeted a place in FA Cup folklore.

As a youngster in Holland, van Nistelrooy sat transfixed watching the FA Cup Final each May, never dreaming he would play a part in the world’s most famous club competition.

The £19 million striker made an immediate impact on the tournament on his debut last year when he scored twice in United’s thrilling comeback win at Aston Villa.
