Chelsea goalkeeper Willy Caballero delighted with playing chance

Chelsea goalkeeper Willy Caballero was delighted with Saturday's win at Brighton.

With Thibaut Courtois missing through injury there was a second consecutive start for Caballero in goal and, after making a crucial save in last week's FA Cup penalty shoot-out victory over Norwich, the Argentinian made another couple of important stops to keep Brighton at bay on Saturday.

"At the end of the day we got back to winning ways and got the three points," Caballero said. "We started the game really well, scored two goals in a few minutes and created a lot of chances until the end, when we scored two more, so we are happy with our performance.

"I had the opportunity to do some good, I want to do my best and save one, two or three goals. I am behind Thibaut (Courtois) all the time waiting for my opportunity but I'm so pleased because we won, I played and I kept a clean sheet."
