According to the midfielder’s reaction to his equalising before the injury, he said from Joy to Pain within minutes. His first goal for Chelsea. A moment he has prayed so hard for and dreamt of since he was a child.
Minor setback, but I will be back stronger than ever. Thank you Chelsea fans, for your love and support. See you soon.
