Chelsea have a wealth of free-kick takers in their ranks.
From Willian to David Luiz, they are a team who can make set pieces count - something that is so important in the modern game.
And it seems another Brazilian at the club is keen not to be left out of this exclusive group, as the above video proves.
In the impressive clip, Diego Costa stands over a dead ball just outside the area during a training session at Cobham.

He takes a gentle run up before putting his foot through the ball and hitting the back of the net in spectacular fashion.
The set piece is struck with so much power there is simply nothing the keeper can do to stop it.
But it is in fact the placement of the strike, which takes the keeper completely by surprise, that makes it impossible to stop.

It finds its target - the very top corner of the goal - and rolls down the back of the net.
And all there is left to do for Costa, who has notched 15 Premier League goals this season, is raise both his arms in celebration.
