Robbie Brady scored a magnificent goal today.
Brady marked his first start for Burnley in style, hitting a
stunning free-kick past Thibaut Courtois to give Burnley a 1-1 draw against Chelsea.
It looked as though Chelsea were going to secure a 12-point lead at the top of the Premier League when Pedro opened the scoring after 7 minutes.
However, Brady's wonderful free-kick from 25 yards out, mid-way through the first-half, pegged back Antonio Conte's side, and showed why the Dubliner was wanted by several clubs in January.

Burnley also showed why they have the fourth best home record in the division, and they went on to trouble Chelsea a number of times in the second half.
For Brady, it was the perfect way to mark his full debut after his £13m move from Norwich City last month. The pressure was on the club's record signing to show his worth, and he did so in some style.
The free-kick caused a frenzied reaction among the home supporters at Turf Moor, and it stunned the travelling Chelsea fans into silence.
It prompted this response from Roy Keane.
The Republic of Ireland assistant manager just couldn't contain his joy.
Brady's free-kick was so good it also caused a Sky Sports News to have an unfortunate slip of the tongue.
The perils of live television.
