Estevao Willian said he felt ‘indescribable’ emotion after scoring a last-minute winner for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
The 18-year-old arrived at Chelsea to much fanfare this summer, and scored his first competitive goal for the club in emphatic fashion, tapping home at the back post in the 95th minute to secure the Blues a 2-1 win over Liverpool.
The goal sent Stamford Bridge into rapture, with Enzo Maresca sent off for his own Jose Mourinho-esque role in the fracas. Estevao made sure to soak up plenty of the crowd’s adulation before jetting off to join up with the Brazil national team for upcoming friendlies away to South Korea and Japan.
Speaking to ESPN Brasil from the Selecao camp, he said he was proud to have finally scored his first goal in royal blue.
"I can't describe it," he said of his emotions after scoring.
"It's incredible, indescribable. The atmosphere at Stamford Bridge is something I've always seen on television and wanted to experience, and I can experience it today.”
Estevao added that he hoped to continue repaying the Chelsea fans’ support with goals.
"I hope it's the first of many to bring a lot of joy to these fans. And God willing, Chelsea will always come out on top."
He continued, saying he wanted to dedicate the goal to those who helped him get to this stage of his career.
"The first thing I did was thank God. Only He knows how hard I fought and worked to be here today and make my family proud. I dedicate this goal to God and my family.”
