Fernando Llorente scored a great header for Swansea

Swansea’s game was all about defending well against the Blues and keeping things compact at the back. Hence, they barely tested Thibaut Courtois in the Chelsea goal. However, Fernando Llorente showed everybody why he is a top striker even now, with a perfectly executed header.

Sigurdsson delivered a free-kick into a good area in the box and the towering Llorente got onto it in a flash although it seemed like nothing was on. The Spanish striker nodded the ball perfectly into the net, leaving the outstretched Courtois with no chance. It was a classy goal from the striker who has now scored nine goals for Swansea this season.
