About Esteban
- I think everyone knows that Esteban is very talented and when he came on, everyone saw what he was capable of and he gave me a great assist for my goal. It all happened very quickly which helped us a lot! We are all delighted for him as he has settled into life at Chelsea very quickly and we are very happy to have him in the squad.
About facing Wolves’ five-back formation
– It’s always not easy to face a five-back formation, you need to have enough players in the penalty area. We showed that with the first goal. Gusteau was there and the game became more open because of it. When facing a back five, it’s important to bring more people into the box. It's always difficult but that's what we needed to do and in the end we scored and won because of it.
My first goal is to help the team. Of course, as an offensive player, it feels great to score goals. In my position, it's important to help the team get goals and assists, but the most important thing is to get three points and I'm happy to be able to help the team achieve that goal.
