Seaman suffers free-kick horror in first half

Chelsea 1 Arsenal 0

Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman suffered another free-kick horror, watching Gianfranco Zola’s 34th-minute effort from 30 yards bounce past him as Chelsea took the lead against the Premiership champions in a heated London derby battle.

Seaman, who admitted his blunder knocked England out of the World Cup against Brazil in the summer, was possibly unsighted as Zola chipped the ball in and after Eidur Gudjohnsen and William Gallas both swung at it and missed, Seaman could not prevent it creeping past his belatedly outflung left hand.
