Chelsea attacker Cole Palmer has expressed his thrill in the Carabao Cup victory over Brighton & Hove Albion.

The player who was used in the number 10 role by Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino was the drive of the game as well as the one who set up Nicolas Jackson for his goal.

Expressing his thrill, the 21-year-old said; “It was a big night for me personally. Coming in for my first start, to get an assist and help the team win an important game, it feels amazing.

“I’m really pleased to have played a part tonight and scoring and assisting is what I like to do.

“I enjoyed playing in that role tonight but to be totally honest, I’m comfortable in any of the attacking positions. Whether that’s as a No.10, out wide on the left or right or even as striker, I’m happy to do a job for the team.

“I like to get on the ball and that role allows me to do that but wherever the manager needs me, I’m happy to play.”
