Michael Essien's thunderous left-foot volley at home to Barcelona this term was voted Chelsea Goal of the Season by the supporters on Thursday night.
It's the second time in the three years that the Ghanaian has won the accolade.
In 2007 another rocket at the Bridge, this time at home to Arsenal, gained the most votes for Essien.
Last season Juliano Belletti's strike v Tottenham was the winner.
The trophy was presented to Essien by the club's former striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.
"It is always good to win something," Essien told Chelseafc.com.
"We put effort in to win trophies and win personal trophies, so it is great.
"I meant to do it because when I saw the ball coming that was the only option that came to my mind, I tried to take it and I had a bit of luck.
"It is difficult to score those kinds of goals and you need a bit of luck."
