Defender gave the ball away with a poor pass he cut right inside through the middle, went past the player who gave away the ball with such pace and did a skill to get past the last defender and smashed it bottom right hand corner i think it was, all happened so fast. His pace is immense with skill as well.

There was a poor pass from the Dutch and the French hit them on the counter attack. Kakuta put the ball through the defender's legs, ran past him and then put the ball in to the right corner of the goal.

Sounds amazing, cant wait to see it.

[charierre]

Some good touches from Kakuta. The french on the whole were quite impressive esp in the first half.

[Anders]

Scored two times, didn't he?

The boy is fast.

It was a very clinical finish and showed just how good he could be. But once again the d**khead commentating came out with a load of sh*te about how he has zero chance of ever playing for chelsea and how bad it was that he had never even made his 1st team debut. Maybe someone should remind him that hes only just turned 17 for f**ks sake.

Guess the commentator missed the Wolves game then, eg dkw! That is pathetic that they try and have a pop at us for not making a 16/17 year old a regular in a title winning first team, shame on us!

Fortunately we know Carlo and Co are acutely aware of how good he is and will manage his development properly.

The tiny bar steward is scoring against Holland, what is he thinking

Try 19, but the point does still stand. I think he's even made his Champions League debut, too. Oh well.

Chelsea attacker Gael Kakuta believes he has nothing to feel guilty about following his controversial transfer from Lens.

The 19-year-old Frenchman moved to Stamford Bridge back in 2007, although the Ligue 1 club were outraged at his switch to the Premier League.

Lens claimed the player's move was in breach of his contract and last year Fifa banned Kakuta from playing for four months and barred Chelsea from making any signings in the next two transfer windows.

The sanctions were subsequently rescinded following an appeal from the Blues to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, ruling that he did not have a legitimate contract with Les Sang et Or despite spending eight years with the club.

Kakuta does not believe he did anything wrong regarding his transfer, and does not feel guilty.

He told L'Equipe: "I was calm. I had nothing to feel guilty about.

"I couldn't care less. I went on working. That is football, you know."

CAEN, France (AP) — Chelsea winger Gael Kakuta set up Alexandre Lacazette for a late winning goal Friday as France rallied to beat Spain 2-1 to win the under-19 European Championship for the second time.
With five minutes remaining, Kakuta took the ball and spun around in midfield, dribbling past the two central defenders with sudden changes of direction. Kakuta's shot was saved by goalkeeper Alex, but he followed up and chipped the ball perfectly for Lacazette to head in at the far post.

He's the real deal, after watching him in the U19's throughout he's my vote to be one of the worlds best players in 3-5 years time completely in a class of his own compared with everyone else on the pitch. I hope he get's lot's of chances this season in the first team, he's just explosive!

[Andreas]

I linked the wrong video, my mistake ><

heres the real deal.



And from the site I read about the goal it seems clear to me that kakuta was the one to score, but he actually set it up, in style tho. My mistake for the misleading topic name.
