Stunning Casadei
Cesare Casadei scored a brilliant goal for Chelsea Under-21s as they beat Peterborough in the Papa Johns Trophy.
The Italian midfielder signed over the summer for a huge fee of £20m for the teenager who is yet to play a senior match in his career. He has impressed Mark Robinson's youth side but produced a moment of magic against Posh.
With the young Blues already 1-0 up at the Weston Homes Stadium, Casadei drove from the halfway line before being converged on by two players, with nothing much ahead of him he unleashed a vicious shot from deep and saw it fire past Lucas Bergstrom.

The Blues, given their standing in European football and ability to pay large wages, have been heavily linked with him, especially after Todd Boehly met with Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes over the summer.
Chelsea have been warned of the move though.
