Goal of the Day: Michael Essien’s left-footed strike or Jack Rodwell’s curler?
After missing the end of Chelsea’s season and the World Cup with Ghana due to injury, the man, the legend, the Michael Essien is back. He’s the best defensive midfielder in the world in my opinion, and if he’s healthy then he’s untouchable. Against Crystal Palace today in a friendly match Essien opened the scoring with a great left-footed strike from just inside the area. Jack Rodwell, on the other hand, was playing to his full potential in Australia as Everton took on Brisbane Roar. Rodwell, like Essien, opened the scoring. However, he went top-drawer with a curling effort from a good 25 yards out.
Rodwell’s strike is above, while Essien’s is after the jump.
