Thomas Tuchel reaction to N’golo Kante goal prompts comparison to Zinedine Zidane after Cristiano Ronaldo wondergoal as Chelsea midfielder scores screamer vs Leicester

The Frenchman strode forward from midfield and unleashed a stunning left footed strike as Tuchel’s men won 3-0 to extend their lead at the top of the table to six points.

Kante is not known for his raw goalscoring prowess, which is maybe why his stunning finish brought out a brilliant reaction from his manager.

And Tuchel’s celebration of the goal drew comparisons with legendary coaches Zinedine Zidane, Sir Bobby Robson and Pep Guardiola.

On 228 previous occasions, Kante had only found the net 12 times, but as he made it goal number 13 he drew a brilliant reaction from his manager who stood stunned on the sidelines.

As Tuchel looked on in disbelief, he joins the list of other managers who mustered a similar celebration.

Against Juventus whilst still at Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo arguably scored one of the best goals in Champions League history.

Middle of the penalty area, the now-Man United forward rose incredibly to net a bicycle kick against the Italians with legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon in the net.

The goal was sensational, but Zidane’s reaction was even better and now – thanks to the internet and social media – it’s a iconic moment in modern football history.
