Armando Broja scored his first senior goal for Chelsea in the 3-0 victory over Wolves.
Broja was on target despite only coming on as a substitute in that game. The 21-year-old scored a brilliant goal on the 90th minute, and he was glad to make his mark.
Broja had revealed his parents were present at Stamford Bridge on the day, and it happened to be his father’s birthday – whom he dedicated the goal to.
“Today is my dad’s birthday,” Broja said. “It was a really good gift for him.
“It was difficult for my parents mostly. They always tried to give me a better life, an easier life for me and my two sisters. Thanks to them so much for helping me throughout my journey.
“They come to every game as much as they can – I don’t think they have missed a game. I was happy I could score today for them.”
Broja also revealed how his father encouraged him as a kid by showing him videos of legendary Brazilian striker Ronaldo Nazario.
“He was my dad’s favourite player, still is my dad’s favourite player,” he added. “He loved him, watched him all the time and always wanted me to play like R9.
“He would always show me clips on YouTube and we would sit and watch games of him. He loved him and that’s where I got my love for him.
“I watched a lot of his games and I try to get little bits of tricks and stuff he did. My dad played a big role in getting me here.”
