Azpilicueta doesn’t get many goals. Since arriving at Chelsea from Marseille in 2012, he has found the net 14 times during 429 appearances in all competitions.

His goal tonight proved crucial though and sees Spain continue their run in the tournament.

The Blues star has been a real stalwart for the club. He’s been part of two Premier League title triumphs and lifted the Champions League back in May.

He’s a really underrated member of the team and looks set to continue his status as a first-team regular under Thomas Tuchel.

Chelsea fans delighted for Azpilicueta

The feel-good factor is firmly back in place at Stamford Bridge. Azpilicueta has been a huge part of that and the Blues faithful are delighted for him.

He took his goal really well this evening and his performance on the whole was superb throughout.
