Michael Essien spent nearly a decade at Chelsea where he has a lot of nostalgic memories of the team.
The former Real Madrid player scored 25 goals at the London club since his signing in 2005 to 2014.
In an interview with Chelsea TV, Essien was given the opportunity to select his favourite goal at Chelsea.
Essien selected his goal against Arsenal in the English Premier League as the best he scored in a blue shirt.
“Obviously, people always ask me about my best goal at Chelsea and I say the one against Arsenal although the Barcelona goal was also great. Arsenal are our greatest rivals so scoring a goal like that against them you have to put it on top.” Essien told Chelsea TV
“It was a difficult game for us, we were losing 1-0, Ashley Cole retrieved the ball from the back and found Lampard. I just asked for the ball from him and without thinking twice, I hit the shot. At first, it seemed like it was going off target but it entered the net.”
