As you would exepect of somebody from Iceland, Eidur Gudjohnsen is one cool dude.

No more so than in front of goal, as he twice proved against Tottenham in Chelsea's 4-0 win at White Hart Lane.

Gudjohnsen is rapidly emerging as one of the Premiership's top strikers, and like all the best strikers he makes the most difficult things look easy.

And as any striker will tell you, one of the hardest aspects of goalscoring is winning a one-on-one duel with the goalkeeper.

Initiative

It needs the coolest of temperaments and as Gudjohnsen proved, not once, but twice, he has ice-water flowing through his veins as he won two classic confrontations with Spurs keeper Neil Sullivan.

Gudjohnsen's goals against Spurs were almost carbon-copies, but it is his first which wins BBC Sports Online's Goal of the Week vote.

Gudjohnsen showed sublime timing by keeping himself onside, delaying his run on to Graeme Le Saux's through ball and embarrassing Dean Richards' rash step-up in the process.

Collecting the ball 12 yards inside the Spurs' half, Gudjohnsen still had plenty to do as he bore down on goal.

He who takes the initiative, generally wins the one-on-one duel between striker and goalkeeper, and Gudjohnsen's first action was to position his run-in dead centre down the pitch.

Coolness

This gave him a full goal to aim at. Had his approach not been straight, he would have made it easier for Sullivan to cut down his target by narrowing the angle.

Goalkeepers will always try and make the striker do what he wants, forcing the forward to shoot on the goalkeeper's terms.

But as Gudjohnsen closed in on Sullivan and the goal, he gave the Spurs' keeper no clues with either his body shape or his eyes as to what he was going to do.

Again, timing is crucial, and Gudjohsen picked his moment to shoot perfectly, before Sullivan had time to adjust his feet and get himself into position where he could spread himself in front of the striker.

A minimum of backlift again gave Sullivan no clue when the shot was going to come, and Gudjohnsen had the coolness and cheek to place his shot between Sullivan's legs, the place most difficult for keepers to react and reach the ball.

Gudjohnsen proved it was no fluke, when Spurs suicidal defending presented him with another run on goal.

Again, he took the initiative, never allowing Sullivan to position himself as he closed in, this time grazing Sullivan's left ankle as he placed his shot low into the corner.
