VIDEO: Gokhan Inler Scores A Rocket For Napoli In Champions League

Gokhan Inler isn't much of a goal scorer. He makes his living keeping opposing players from scoring, as he has done to Frank Lampard, but that doesn't mean he can't pop up every now and then with a goal. He picked a really good time to pop up this time, too, scoring at Stamford Bridge to give Napoli a 4-3 lead on aggregate over Chelsea. Oh, and it just happened to be a chested down and then volleyed rocket. No big deal.

Now Napoli have to hold on for a little over a half hour. If they can, Inler's goal will be the one that sends them to the Champions League quarterfinals. Yes, the history books will read that Inler is the one who pushed Napoli over Chelsea. It won't be Edinson Cavan or Marek Hamsik or Ezequiel Lavezzi. It will be Gokhan Inler. The world is a crazy place. A crazy, beautiful place.
