What a goal.

Jonathan Walters has a well-earned reputation as one of the hardest working players in football, but this proves the big man can also play a bit.

The Republic of Ireland international started for Stoke City against Chelsea in the League Cup, and broke the deadlock with a stunning volley, that crashed in off the underside of the bar.

Stoke midfielder Glenn Whelan picked up the ball 25 yards from Chelsea’s goal, beat a man and played a pass into Walters feet. The forward found space at the edge of the penalty area, and, after taking a touch, smashed it past Asmir Begovic in goal.

Tony Yeboah would be proud of this effort.
