Ruddy's penalty save came in the ninety third minute of added time apparently.

It took a minute or so before the penny dropped.
93 added minutes is more than the usual 3-5 minutes ..
If the ref stops his watch and there is only 90 minutes of actual playing time how can any goals be scored in the 91st minute and thereafter?
The bigger question , If it went on for another 5 minutes and we were awarded another 5 penalties , would we have scored one in the end. ??
The average chance of scoring a pen is about 83%.
Therefore (with a simple calculation, not accounting for additional pressure) to miss 2 in a row would be a 3% likelihood, 3 would be half a percent, 4 would be less than 0.1% and 5 in a row would be 0.01%
If we took another 2 and missed those (so 7 in a row as per your message) that would be a likelihood of 4 in a million.
