Charly Musonda thrilled with Chelsea goal in U21 final win

Chelsea youngster Charly Musonda was delighted to score in their U21 Premier League final win over Manchester United.

Musonda's fine equaliser even had the 17-year-old's name trending on Twitter during the game.

He told chelseafc.com: "It's been a fantastic end to the season, to win the Under-21 League a week after winning the FA Youth Cup, and to come from behind at Old Trafford is a fantastic feeling. It's a great stadium.

"We started a bit nervously and Man United very well but by the end we were just enjoying the occasion and it was a fantastic result.

"For my goal, Nathan Ake gave me the ball and I got on the half-turn and I had one thing on my mind, to have a shot on target and fortunately it went in. It was quite similar to the Youth Cup final goal against Fulham. I score a lot of goals like that and I was happy to get another one tonight.

"I'm very happy to be trending on Twitter but most importantly we won the game."
