And the Blues rookie admitted he could not contain his emotions, saying: ‘It’s been an amazing week for me. I’ve watched a lot of games at Stamford Bridge, been a ball boy, watched Champions League nights with family.

‘When I scored, I didn’t know what to do — I was crying, really. I’m happy for myself and for my family. I’ve had to work hard and stay patient. I need to keep doing that.’

His manager Thomas Tuchel added: ‘It was well-deserved, he’s been so solid in pre-season. 

‘He is a humble and calm guy. He took his chance. It’s not a gift that he plays, it is deserved.

‘He gave a really big performance against Villarreal on Wednesday and he was robust enough to then play another game in the Premier League.

‘It is super nice and I truly believe that you can have the best and most famous players from abroad, but it’s also about young guys from the academy and to show them the way to make it in the Premier League — that is very important for us.’

Chalobah was mobbed and was clearly still taking in his goal several minutes after it registered
