The Black Stars player selected his goal against Arsenal in the English Premier League as the best he scored in a blue shirt.

Talking about the goal, Essien said:

“My best goal is the one against Arsenal. I saw Frank Lampard and I just shouted for the ball and he just kind of laid it for me. The first thing that came into my mind was to hit and I took a great shot and it was at the back of the net.”
