Arsenal had faced off against Chelsea the day before, so I read the recap.
"Essien rescued Chelsea with a 35-yard thunderbolt six minutes from the end and the home side were unlucky to finish on level terms when they twice hit the woodwork in stoppage time."
I searched in vain for video footage of the 35 yard thunderbolt - surely a shot like that is worth watching. Thanks to Johnny T, however, the search is over.
As Macey and I used to say - an absolute howitzer.

if i could hit one shot like that, ever, i would retire instantly and start selling t-shirts and videos of it. that's one of those shots that when i see it i almost burst.
It took about .9 seconds to travel the 35 yards. That's about 79.5 mph assuming it didn't bend at all. Amazing.
