Armando Broja has reflected on the ‘surreal moment’ when he scored his first goal for Chelsea in their 3-0 win over Wolves.
Chelsea cruised past Wolves at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon. They took a 2-0 lead through goals from Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic either side of the half time interval.
Broja, who started on the bench, was brought on in the second half by Graham Potter and rewarded the head coach with a goal in the final few minutes of the second half.

"It’s unreal, I’ve been waiting for my first goal. It's a surreal moment. I can't put it into words.

"We have a big squad, everyone is needed at all times."
Broja was hailed by Potter post-match, who refused to take credit for his finish, and attitude and patience in training to get a chance in the side.
Potter said: "I've been here three or four weeks so taking no credit, great finish, nice pass too and whenever he comes on he works hard for the team.
"He's had to be patient but he's been working hard in training and it's nice for him to score."
