Philippe Coutinho drew a foul 30 yards from goal, seemingly too far to have a go at goal. Petr Cech is a fine goalkeeper, much too good to score on from that distance. But that thinking is dependent on Coutinho not hitting an absolutely perfect free kick, with whip, pace and pinpoint accuracy, which is exactly what he did.

It's perfect. You can watch it over and over and try to find fault in it. Try to find a single thing Coutinho could have done better. You won't. Because it's damn perfect.

Coutinho finished the match with two goals and had a sublime flicked pass that unlocked the Arsenal defense on another. The match became The Philippe Coutinho Show, and thankfully it did. It was an absolute joy to watch the Brazilian work his magic.
