Stoke City midfielder Charlie Adam couldn't celebrate his wonder goal after defeat at Chelsea.

Adam's 65 yard effort is a contender for goal of the season.

Adam admitted: "The disappointing thing is we lost the game. On a personal note it is a great goal to score. I saw the keeper off his line, had an effort and it has gone in.

"I always have a look at the goalkeeper because these balls move so much. When you have got that much space and time it is good to do something like that."

Adam later told the BBC: "I never knew I had that much power, to beat a quality goalkeeper like that is something special. Once in a lifetime this can happen to you."
