PINT-SIZED Willian showed a big moment of Brazilian brilliance which started a Hull collapse in the FA Cup.
The midfielder popped up inside TWO minutes to bury Hull with an absolute screamer of a strike.
It earned him a Gillette Precision Play award, the first from this weekend’s FA Cup action.
The strike, after just 1 minute and 46 seconds was unstoppable, and Hull keeper David Marshall could only look on as it flew off his boot and into the top corner.
Our video shows the goal in super slow-mo with all the crucial stats for every Chelsea fan to savour. Hull fans might want to look away.
The shot from 24.95 yards reached a top speed of 65.35 mph and went in 65cm under the crossbar.
It sent every Chelsea fan inside the ground into rapture, particularly the lucky ones behind the goal.
There was more to come on a miserable night for Championship strugglers Hull. Willian bagged another, Pedro netted one and Olivier Giroud scored his first goal in a Chelsea shirt.

Willian admitted he was gutted not to score a hat-trick and take away the match ball.
He said after the match: "It was a great game, not only by me but the whole team. The hat-trick was almost there, I tried, but the most important thing was the win.
"After a difficult moment we are back to winning games. When you are winning games the confidence goes high. Now we have to carry on."
The Blues last won the FA Cup in 2012 and have picked up the trophy seven times in their history.
