Chelsea didn't need much time to strike first against Tottenham on Saturday in the FA Cup semifinal showdown. In fact, it took just five minutes.
Willian opened the scoring for the Blues against the Spurs with a brilliant free kick, going far post on Hugo Lloris. The French goalkeeper was blinded by the wall and couldn't react quick enough to prevent the early goal.

That is a lovely hit, but it is surprising to see Lloris concede there. Willian likes to go far post, and it seems like the French goalkeeper didn't realize that.
