Chelsea fullback Ben Chilwell was happy to finish a winner against Southampton.

Chilwell scored in the 3-1 win, though also gave away a penalty.

"I said to the assistant manager 'that's football'," Chilwell told the club's website.

"I felt I had a good game but then gave the penalty away. I just tried to bounce back from that, and got the goal in the end. I thought it hit the post so I just played on! I heard the ref's whistle go and was a bit baffled to be fair. That's why my celebration wasn't really a celebration!

"It is definitely up there with my best goals. It was kind of instinctive, it just came to the back post. The keeper was either on the floor or near the other post, so I thought if I hit the target I had a good chance.

"The manager was happy I was getting in the positions to score," added Chilwell. "I had a couple of chances in the first half, second one could have done better, first one was a good save.

"If you look at my stats last year, four goals, seven assists, I did pretty well in that aspect, but you can always improve. I am never satisfied with what I've done, and hopefully my numbers will be better than last season and I can keep improving in an attacking sense."
