Chelsea matchwinner Connor Gallagher admits his goal at Crystal Palace was a "special moment".

Gallagher came off the bench to settle the game 2-1 against the team where he spent last season on-loan.

He said, "It's a very special moment to come on and get the winner and my first goal for Chelsea.

"It was written in the stars. Unfortunately it came against Palace but I'm just buzzing to get my first goal.

"Everyone knows how much I loved it here [at Palace] and I thank the whole club and the fans - even today with the reception they gave me.

"Hopefully I can build a bit of confidence with the goal and push on. I want to work as hard as I can for him [manager Graham Potter] and be available wherever he needs me, whether starting or coming off the bench.

"Obviously I want to start and I need to show him I'm good enough."
