The Nigerian propelled Chelsea to victory over Derby County in Sunday’s FA Cup third round game
Super Eagles midfielder John Obi Mikel scored on his 300th appearance for Chelsea as they defeated Derby County 2-0 at the Pride Park Stadium in a third round English FA Cup game.After an unimpressive first half display, the Nigerian headed home from six yards off Willian's whipped free-kick to break the deadlock in the 66th minutes of the with only his fourth Blues goal.
Mikel got the starter’s shirt despite Jose Mourinho’s changes to the squad that won Southampton 3-0 on New Year Day.
Mikel would be pleased with himself having netted his fourth Chelsea goal having earlier broken his 261-game goal drought in the English Premier League in Chelsea’s 2-0 victory over Fulham at Stamford Bridge on September 21, 2013.
