It was a run Chelsea fans had seen before.
Ben Chilwell, making a diagonal move from the wing, Thiago Silva spots him and floats a lofted pass to perfection. Chilwell's move bewilders the opposing defence, breaking their line and Chelsea score. This was the FA Cup final in May of 2021. Chelsea were then trailing to Leicester in second-half added time, even VAR replays did not aid the case the wingback had mistimed his run, but it was ruled out. Leicester would lift the Cup, Chilwell's moment of brilliance snatched away.
Over 13 months later, Chilwell did it again – this time the execution was far more impressive and there would be no reprimand from Stockley Park.
