Never mind all that was going on across the pond on Tuesday, it was also the twentieth anniversary of Gianfranco Zola signing for Chelsea.
And what better way for the club's official Twitter account to commemorate such an occasion than to create a special hashtag? A string of #Zola20 tweets were sent form the account throughout the day, looking back at some of the highlights of the Italian's time at Stamford Bridge.
One of those tweets featured footage of Zola taking on Liverpool and managing to leave Jamie Carragher on his arse... not once, but twice.

This comes just over a week after Garcia himself used the controversial goal as the inspiration for his Halloween outfit.
