In the 41st minute of this afternoon’s FA Cup encounter between Chelsea and Sheffield United, Mateo Kovacic showed his ice-cold composure to ensure that the Blues kept hold of the ball.

Emerson Palmieri headed the ball down after a throw-in from Sheffield United, sending it into the path of Kovacic, who produced an amazing Scorpion touch to flick the ball up and leave John Lundstram stuck.
