	BBC SPORT \| EURO2000 \| SQUAD \| Dan Petrescu
		Petrescu plays under Gianluca Vialli at Chelsea after a £2.3m switch in November 1995 from Sheffield Wednesday.
		Although he was originally employed as a full back, Petrescu is increasingly used as a right sided midfielder, and with his trickery and powerful shots he regularly finds his name on the scoresheet.
		Petrescu's main weakness is his tendency to disappear out of games when his side are struggling.

		Goldbaek put in a teasing cross from the left, Dan Petrescu dinked a little header down and forward, and Franco's balletic pirouette was finished off with a delicate lifting of the ball over the advancing David James.

		Thirteen minutes later a Frank Sinclair right-wing cross found the rising Poyet and, although his initial header was superbly blocked at point-blank range by Watson, the free summer transfer was on hand to stab home from inside the six-yard box for his first goal in English football.
		In the 44th minute Petrescu's long through-ball cut the Barnsley defence wide open, allowing Vialli to let fly with a sensational 20-yard first-time half-volley for his first Premiership goal since March 12.
