VIDEO: When Chelsea’s Thibaut Courtois hits a penalty, you get the hell out of the way

What a hit, son. What a hit.

Chelsea gained the sweetest revenge over PSG that will go down in history and be talked about through the ages. Okay, they won a pre-season match over them on penalties.

It was a fiery enough affair though after the pair clashed in the Champions League knockout stages last season and this one went all the way down to a Thibaut Courtois penalty to decide the game.

But what a decider it was.

Joe Hart hit a pretty decent effort during the week against Roma.

But it was knocked out of the park by his Chelsea counterpart as the Belgian kicked the decisive effort in sudden death – after Falcao (yes, him) put his away.

Courtois absolutely drilled his peno off the top of his laces and into the top left corner where the ball actually got stuck, it was hit with that much ferocity.

Check out this deadly effort.
