The hop, skip and jump has also become a gimmick of its own, linked with the now 30-year-old who has been Chelsea's primary penalty taker since the departure of Eden Hazard in 2019.

His latest, a right-footed strike at Goodison Park to seal the Blues' first win at Everton since 2017, was the 59th of his career.
