Chelsea v Tottenham was, simply put, a world class FA Cup semi-final, and so it was appropriate that the game was sealed with a strike as magnificent as Nemanja Matic’s.
The Blues midfielder picked the ball up 25 yards out with his team 3-2 up, and emphatically doubled their lead.
Pick. That. One. Out.
Unstoppable!??

A quite sensational goal that put Chelsea through to the FA Cup final and took almost everybody by surprise – none more so than Chelsea substitute Kurt Zouma.In the immortal words of sports commentator Barry Davies: “Just look at his face!”

Great clip of Zouma, Terry and Chalobah celebrating that Matic goal on the bench. They couldn’t believe what had happened. Amazing.

Zouma must be great fun to give Christmas presents to.
