Zhirkov's Debut Goal Sees Chelsea Past Milan

Yuri Zhirkov scored the winner on his debut, as Chelsea ran out 2-1 winners over Milan

It was all Chelsea in the early stages, and it was no surprise when the goal came after just six minutes, and it was worth the price of entry. Picking the ball up more than 30 yards out, Didier Drogba unleashed an unstoppable shot that went flying into the top right hand corner, leaving Kalac with no chance.

On 37 minutes, just when the match was looking for some inspiration after a brief lull, it was provided by Seedorf. Ronaldinho laid the ball up for him just outside the box, and he unleashed an strike to match Drogba's earlier effort, as Cech helplessly watched the ball sail into the top-right hand corner

With twenty minutes remaining, Chelsea took the lead once more. Shevchenko cut in from the left and saw his shot saved, while Lampard's rebound was also blocked. However, the ball came out to Zhirkov, who fired a low strike in at the near post

Just when it seemed as though the game was petering out to its inevitable conclusion, Inzaghi got a trademark header in from the six yard box, which was spectacularly tipped over by Cech. Onyewu then headed wide from a late cross, as Chelsea hung on to claim the victory

Hail Zhirkov!!
