Goal of the weekend: Chelsea’s Eden Hazard (vs Manchester United)



Goal of the weekend: Chelsea’s Eden Hazard (vs Manchester United) This is so clever. When you first watch this, your initial impression is that David De Gea should be doing more to keep it out, but watch it again – and watch how Eden Hazard uses Rafael’s position to bend this into the far corner.

Classic goals: Manchester United’s David Beckham (vs Chelsea)



Classic goals: Manchester United’s David Beckham (vs Chelsea) The Premier League Owl File this one under ‘dark arts’ of the game. This is actually from an FA Cup match at Stamford Bridge in 1998, rather than a Premier League game.
