Brazilian struck a superb set-piece late in the game to defeat Dynamo Kiev and claim the latest prize

Willian’s wonder free-kick in Chelsea’s 2-1 victory over Dynamo Kiev in Group G has been named the Uefa Champions League Goal of the Week, presented by Nissan.

With the game at 1-1 in the 83rd minute, the Brazilian attacker calmly curled the ball into the back of the net from 25 yards out to score his third goal in the competition this season.

The goal came at a crucial time for Chelsea, ensuring the Premier League champions recorded an important three points to stay in contention for qualification to the knockout stages of the competition.

Willian beat off the likes of Luis Suarez, David Alaba, Luuk de Jong and Stephan Lichtsteiner to claim Uefa Champions League Goal of the Week, presented by Nissan, for matchday 4.

The former Shakhtar star will be hoping to continue his fine goalscoring form in Europe when Chelsea faces Maccabi Tel Aviv away from home on Tuesday evening.
