I think there is a case for giving the assist to the person winning the penalty. If you are in the area about to pull the trigger or lay the ball off for someone else to score, then get your legs taken out illegally, you deserve the credit for putting the opposition under pressure.
If you are outnumbered in the penalty area with no support from your team mates and you draw a foul using cunning and trickery, you have won your team a goalscoring opportunity.
I say give the assist.
