THE SITUATION: About 15 minutes into the game. Still scoreless. Spurs left back Vertonghen followed the movement of Oscar toward the middle, leaving the space open on the flanks for Mata to run onto. While being closed down quickly by the opposition, Mikel sees the opportunity.
THE EXECUTION: With two Spurs players directly in front of him, Mikel lifts the ball over and into the path of Mata's run. BEHOLD! THE WIDTH!
THE CONSEQUENCE:
After a few exchanges with Oscar, Mata floats a cross into the box; Gallas clears and concedes a corner. Cahill scores with an amazing volley from this corner to give Chelsea the lead.
