Chelsea youngster Levi Colwill has revealed the decision to come off at half time was not his own.
The defender was hauled off by manager Mauricio Pochettino for tactical reasons.
Fans had speculated that Colwill may have picked up an injury, but he confirmed that was not the case.
"Yeah, I think so," Colwill told football.london on whether the choice was tactical.
"It obviously worked; winning the game on pens and obviously coming back at the same time. I'm really happy for the team."
"Honestly my position is a center-half but I'm more than happy to help the team anyway I can," Colwill added on playing left-back.
"I've always said I'm learning in that position, so I cannot complain."
