Can't beat the midfield trio of Lampard, Essien and Makelele.

Don’t forget Essien’s goal against Barcelona absolute screamer

[danielaboh]

Legend of Chelsea. Still love his goal against Barcelona. Spectacular one by all standards 🔥🔥🇬🇭

[longjidalu]

He was one of those who gave Chelsea it's fearsomeness.

[reginaldnettey]

Now we rarely have long range shooters in midfield. Essien, Ballack, Lampard.
Anyone could hurt you from range

[scttyt]

2 best goals he scored for us … 1 Vs Arsenal & 1 Vs Barca. Absolute monster in the midfield ⚽️⚽️

[SeanKnapp-bolu]

What a player. Those who grow up watching Chelsea know how good he was. Bison.

[chelseaultra]

Simply amazing player, always will be a legend 💙👌

[abdulahioseni]

One of the best midfielder in the world 🔥🔥🔥❤

[gattonero]

Persib Bandung, Very proud to have worked with Essien..We Bandung people always like him.

[londonbluechelseaarmy]

The Biason, what a player, what a legend.

[adamhhh]

When I was a kid, bloody love Essien he is a force to be wrecken with 👊

[kingnicolas]

He is one of the best midfielders in the world

[martinschima]

Best Essien Goal, Chelsea too arguably

[samezaber]

proper chelsea legend. I miss this team man. When we have warriors in our team, winning mentality. Always want to win, 2nd place was not acceptable. Now, we are 10th, players are hugging each other after the game. Do they really care that much now? Getitng big wages every week, but producing bang average performacen. Ex, Mount, Havertz, Ziyech, Kovacic. standard in the gutter right now.

I will never forget that match. That match was played on a Sunday against arsenal. Fabregas gave arsenal the lead only for Essien to score and tie the match towards the end of the match…

[BWart-zphy]

His shirt number has been disgraced by the current No.5. Worse midfielder who starts consistently

[bellonairesfc]

That was when Chelsea still have midfielder, what will have now is bunch of clown, Kova progress the ball without any end product, Jorginho can’t run, can’t pass, cant score, cant do anything, Ruben dribble entire opponent player and play the ball back to Thiago at the back 😭

[FootballFinlay]

In my opinion one of the best chelsea players, up there with David Luiz.

[theohaines]

I remember watching this game as an arsenal fan 😂
