Trevoh First Goal For Chelsea And He Himself Cant Believe It!
The moment of the afternoon soon arrived as debutant Chalobah capped a remarkable few days by burying his first Chelsea goal. It was a strike of the highest calibre from the boyhood Blue, who’s been on the books at the club since the age of nine.
Collecting the ball just inside the Palace half and urged to shoot, the defender moved forward before unleashing a precise strike beyond Guaita’s despairing dive and into the back of the net via the underside of the post.
The celebrations were jubilant, with the 22-year-old mobbed by his team-mates and the points surely safely secured.
Speaking to BBC after the game, Chalobah admitted that he was 'lost for words'.
He said: "I'm lost for words at the moment. It's been an amazing week for me.
"I've been at this club since I was eight. Playing at Stamford Bridge where I've watched a lot of games, I've been a ball boy and come with my family on Champions League nights. Finally playing here is amazing."
The defender was named in the back three alongside Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger after an impressive run in pre-season.
Chalobah bagged his first Chelsea goal in his first start during the London derby and admitted he didn't know what to do in celebration.
"When I scored I didn't know what to do. I dropped to my knees and I was crying, really. It's amazing for myself and my family.
The defender, who spent last season on loan at Lorient, won his first Chelsea trophy during the week as the Blues lifted the UEFA Super League.
Speaking regarding his Premier League debut for Chelsea, Chalobah admitted that the hard work starts now.
"I had to wait but for me it's important to work hard, stay patient and keep working to focus on your game and where you need to improve. This is not enough, I need to do more and more and that's what I'm aiming to do."
