John Mikel Obi (Chelsea): Super Eagles midfielder John Obi Mikel made
history on Saturday by scoring his first ever Chelsea goal in the BPL as
he scored
in the 84th minute against Fulham which was Chelsea’s second goal of the
evening. Mikel had only scored twice for the Blues in the FA Cup in the
2006/07 season against Macclesfield Town in a 6-1 victory on January
6th 2007. Mikel scored his second FA Cup goal on the 28th of January
2007 in the Blues’ 3-0 home win over Nottigham Forest. Last weekend’s
game was Mikel’s 185th game for his club in the BPL and 258th in all
competitions. Mikel thus became the ninth African player to score for
Chelsea, with Celestine Babayaro the only other Nigerian with that
honour. The volley which led to the goal was the Nigerian’s 453rd shot
for his West London side
