Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic admitted his delight for teammate Trevoh Chalobah after he scored against Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

The Blues got their league campaign underway with an impressive 3-0 win at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

Chalobah, who may be going out on loan before the transfer deadline closes, was impressive for the home side all pre-season.

"Trevoh's goal was so well deserved," said Pulisic, per the club's website.

"He works so hard and he's been in the team for the last few games and he's played unbelievably, so that was the icing on top and I'm very happy for him.

Pulisic added on new teammate Romelu Lukaku: "Lukaku's a great striker. He plays really good with his back to goal, holding the ball, and he's a great goalscorer, so I'm very excited to play with him. It's going to be exciting times.

"We have a very good team with a lot of depth and it's a really exciting team. When you have a bunch of good players it's never a bad thing so we're really excited to see how this year goes."
