Chelsea U-21 player scores golazo from halfway line
There were a total of seven goals in the Premier League International Cup quarterfinal match between the U-21 squads of Chelsea and Tottenham at The Lamex Stadium. But none were more spectacular than the third goal by Chelsea's Ola Aina.
Seeing the Spurs goalkeeper positioned a little ahead of goal, the English defender of Nigerian descent had the audacity to attempt a 50-yard shot. And you know what? We are happy that he did. Check out this insane and well placed shot by Aina:

The goalie's effort to block that shot must be applauded. But man oh man, what a shot. The Blues went on to cruise past Tottenham, 5-2, and now find themselves in the semifinals of the Premier League International Cup.
