Chelsea defender, Trevoh Chalobah, has said that he would have never dreamed of scoring after hammering in a long-range strike on his Premier League debut
Chalobah admitted it was ‘a surreal moment’ for him, adding that he could not believe when the ball went in.
The 22-year-old scored Chelsea’s third goal in the 58th minute against Palace, following two goals each from Marcos Alonso and Christian Pulisic. He took a couple of advancing touches, looked up and smashed a low shot across goalkeeper Vicente Guaita and into the far corner of the net.“I didn’t know what to do and I dropped to my knees. I was over the moon. I didn’t know the ball went in until the crowd cheered. It’s a surreal moment.”“Moments like this come and you just have to be patient. From the day I came in, my aim was to impress the manager, whether that is in training or anywhere.
“I think I have done that well, I got my opportunity and I have taken it. In this moment, I just wanted to enjoy my debut. “As a young boy, I have always dreamed to play in these games for my club so I made sure I was ready and enjoyed it. I wasn’t too nervous.”
