Chelsea midfielder Lucas Piazon scores first goal for Rio Ave

Chelsea midfielder Lucas Piazon is off the mark for loan club Rio Ave.

The Brazilian signed for the Portuguese outfit in August on a season-long deal.

Piazon was the hero for Rio Ave when he netted his first goal for the Portuguese club in a 1-0 win at Santa Clara on the weekend.

It was the second time in a week the Brazilian played the full 90 minutes, having previously featured for just 50 minutes in the first half of the league campaign, and he responded with a fantastic low strike from outside the box which settled the contest.
