7 players who celebrated after scoring against their former clubs

7) Glen Johnson: For Liverpool vs Chelsea

Glen Johnson scores to end Chelsea’s hopes in the title race

Glen Johnson will always be known as the first player to be bought by Chelsea in the Roman Abramovich era and had been regularly getting games at the start of his Blues career but he was soon frozen out before he moved to Portsmouth – initially on a loan deal before a permanent move.

However, the club’s troubles saw them accept a bid from Liverpool in 2009 and he moved to Anfield where he became a key member of the squad for at least the next five seasons. And in 2011, he had the opportunity to prevent his former club from gaining a foothold in the title race.

A long ball from Liverpool’s half found Johnson unmarked on the right side before he cut in to evade a backtracking Ashley Cole. Another dribble took him past Florent Malouda after which he beat Petr Cech with his left foot. The winner even saw Kenny Dalglish celebrate in front of the Chelsea dugout.
