penalty or kick off?

I have no idea why I thought this but it made me curious.
Team A are attacking against team D. Team A score and the goal is given. However before the game can kick off again a defender from team D punches the scorer when he is still in the team D penalty area.
I know that the defender is sent off for violent conduct but how does the game restart?

Player sent off and game restarted in usual manner as a goal had just been scored.

It is a simple question Dougie, it's the answer that might confuse some people ... :-)

Joking of course but a good example of how those involved in football might question the simplest of scenario's. The ref of course is expected to know them all !!

Well, sometimes and probably in the most cases the simplest answer is the right one!
