John Obi Mikel enjoyed a first half to forget
and then remember again in Chelsea's
Champions League last-16 tie with Paris
Saint-Germain.
In a tumultuous seven minutes of the match
at Parc des Princes, the Nigeria international
was booked for a foul outside the box and
then deflected the resulting free kick past
Thibaut Courtois for PSG's opening goal.
However, on the stroke of half-time, the 28-
year-old went from villain to hero when a
corner dropped well for him and he was able
to poke past Kevin Trapp to secure the
equaliser for Guus Hiddink's men.
Social media went into meltdown in praise of
the midfielder and not for the first time this
season - 'Mikel Mania' swept the internet just
a few months ago during his dominant display
against Crystal Palace.
And again, he has won the hearts of millions
across the continent with his latest exploits.
John Obi Mikel's half.
Booked.
Gave a free kick.
Deflected in a goal.
Then scores an away goal.
It's JOM's world—we're just living in
it.

take it or leave it....He is a Hero I don't care what you say

he did wat Costa the main striker couldn't do!!!

He had an excellent game if not for d challenge on Moura

His away goal might turn out to be a crucial one if chelsea play well the second leg

Chelsea lost and twitter gots on fire, wat could'v happen if Chelsea had won i beliv Nairaland couldv been in ashes by nw

that goal will really go a long way in this round of 16
