Jimmy's gentle side
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has made his mark on the Premiership with the power of his shooting.

But if some of the Dutch hitman's goals have verged on the brutal, he showed his gentle side with his and Chelsea's first goal against Everton.

Hasselbaink collected possession from Frank Lampard's forward header and set off towards goal.

Stranded

He received a portion of luck when his attempted pass rebounded off a defender back to him, and David Weir's unfortunate slip gave Hasselbaink a yard of shooting space.

But from there on, Hasselbaink showed his class.

Expecting a blast, Everton keeper Steve Simonsen advanced to close down the angle.

Instead he was left stranded as Hasselbaink showed the subtlety and control of Tiger Woods with a sand wedge as he chipped the ball over the marooned Everton keeper.
