The strike was as sweet as it was rare. According to ‘the Peter Drury hyperbole bingo card’ it was hit with “special purity” - whatever that actually means.
True, a half-dozen or so Manchester United bodies, stood ball gazing after a Chelsea corner was half cleared, rather than attempt to decrease the space Moises Caicedo found himself in on the penalty area’s edge. But it was still some goal: one that punctured the positive vibes, reducing the roar at Old Trafford, just minutes after the hosts had gone ahead. And it earned Chelsea a Premier League point away from home. That is never to be sniffed at.
