Fans tuning in to the second half of Chelsea's 3-0 victory over Dynamo Kiev could have been forgiven for briefly thinking they were watching a replay of a game from 2015.Pedro, Willian and Callum Hudson-Odoi scored the goals as the Blues put one foot in the quarter-finals with a convincing victory at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night.And Willian's strike, a brilliant free-kick into the top left corner from 25 yards, was incredibly similar to one from four years ago. The Europa League's official Twitter account posted a #ThrowbackThursday shortly after the strike which showed a clip of the Brazilian's goal against the same opponents at the same ground.Also coming in the second half, Willian stepped up to take a free-kick from the same spot, curling it into the same corner of the same goal.To cap it off the 30-year-old performed the same celebration as he did on Thursday night.It's perhaps no surprise to see him net from another dead ball situation, the Brazil international having scored 11 direct free-kick goals in all competitions since his Chelsea debut in 2013, more than any other Premier League player.
