Delap: I came to Chelsea to score goals

Chelsea striker Liam Delap is pleased to have scored his first goal for the club and hopes it helps him build confidence after his summer move.

The 22-year-old's impressive touch and placed finish came in Chelsea's 3-0 win over ES Tunis at the Club World Cup in Philadelphia.

When asked how it felt to score his first goal, the £30m summer signing from Ipswich said: "It's an incredible feeling. I came here to get goals so to get the first one over and done with is a great feeling.

"It was a great pass from Enzo but luckily it went in. Yes, I think it it is a little bit of relief, not relief but an extra bit of confidence, when coming to a place like this you need confidence and belief.

"It's right up there [with my favourite goals] and it means a lot to me. Obviously, this tournament has helped me settle in because back at the training ground everyone disappears at 3pm but here - we are together all the time and it has helped me settle in.

"I know the manager really well so hopefully I can continue growing."

Delap explained that he was aware that an additional yellow card would have led to a one-game suspension - with alternative striker Nicolas Jackson also banned for the upcoming round of 16 game against Benfica in Charlotte on Saturday.

"I tried not to get a yellow card because I would be suspended for the next game," he added. "We've got to focus on Benfica and go there fighting to get to the next round. I came to this club to play on big stages like this."

The forward also added that he will ask his "more creative" younger brother Finn - a central defender for Burton Albion - about trying to match his team-mate Cole Palmer in coming up with an iconic celebration after simply running to celebrate with his team-mates.
