A phenomenal goal. One that kind of encompasses the 2009-10 season for Chelsea Football Club.
Deco's chest. Lampard's heel. Drogba's foot. All in seemingly one motion. It was something out of this world. The Mighty Drogs' reaction after scoring sums it up - bemused, as if to say: did that really just happen?
A worthy, worthy winner.
