9 yrs since Silva scored a long shot vs Chelsea
Playing in the Champions League quarterfinal away leg, Valencia's then midfielder David Silva scored from long-range against Chelsea on April 4, 2007. Receiving the ball from a throw-in, Silva got past a defender before sending a screamer from outside the box into the far corner, thereby beating former Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Čech. Notably, Chelsea progressed to the semifinals on aggregate.
