David Luiz chips THREE-YARD wonder-goal in training as the Chelsea defender outshines hitman Diego Costa and Co
Brazilian superstar shows incredible thinking with his lob and Blues are so impressed they post it on their Instagram account
DAVID LUIZ conjured a training-ground treat for his Chelsea team-mates - with a magical moment of thinking and finishing.
The practice game went quiet as the £34million Brazilian defender stopped the ball three yards out and somehow scooped it over three players and into the net.
The superstar's nonchalance left club skipper John Terry staring in admiration at Luiz as they walked back for the re-start at the Cobham training centre.

The Blues were so impressed they posted the goal on their Instagram account, where it attracted six-figure hits within hours.
The audacious lob also showed how the difference between the elite and the rest can be as much in the brain as in the boots - because even in training few players would have considered the option Luiz took.
Many pundits suggested he was no more than Chelsea's third-best target for strengthening their defence when they re-signed him on transfer deadline day from Paris Saint-Germain last August.
Whatever the case, he has become pivotal to Italian boss Antonio Conte's tactics this season as the Blues lead second-placed Spurs by ten points in the Premier League.
Often criticised in the past for his cavalier attitude from centre-back, now it seems Luiz is mocking his critics with his cheeky antics on the training ground as well as his consistency in matches.
