Mateo Kovacic ran the show from midfield in Chelsea’s 2-0 victory over Burnley on Sunday afternoon. An exquisite performance from beginning to end – but one piece of skill caught Twitter’s eye.
The Croatian international played a pivotal role in the victory with precise passing and driving runs from deep – but it was one particular back-heel pass that caught the eye of supporters.
After a loose ball looped into the air, Kovacic latched onto it to produce a sublime back-heel flick to unleash Mason Mount running at the Burnley back line.
