Chelsea youngster Carney Chukwuemeka has revealed what Cole Palmer said to him before his goal in the FA Cup.

Chukwuemeka scored for the Blues during a thrilling 4-2 win over Leicester City on Sunday.

The 20-year-old was back in the team after a four-week absence through injury.

"I enjoyed it," he told BBC Match of the Day of his goal and performance after the game.

"Coach [Pochettino] said 'just go on and do what we know you can do, express yourself', and that is what I did.

"Obviously I've got to thank my boy Cole for the one-two. To be fair before the game he said to me he was going to assist me if I come on, so fair play to him."
