Speaking to Chelsea TV after the FA Cup win over Sheffield Wednesday, Willian dropped an interesting comment.

The Brazilian was asked why Gonzalo Higuain didn’t take the spot-kick.
Willian confirmed that he offered Higuain the chance to score from the spot, however the Argentine said ‘no’. Willian explained:
“I wanted to give him the ball. I wanted him to score his first goal today. It will come soon.”
After Willian put Chelsea ahead from the spot, Callum Hudson-Odoi doubled the lead after the hour.
