Lewis Hall was thrilled with a winning debut for Chelsea in their 5-1 FA Cup rout of Chesterfield.

Hall had a hand in two of the four first-half goals, teeing up Romelu Lukaku to make it 3-0 after 20 minutes before a low shot was parried into the path of Andreas Christensen moments before the break, the Dane guiding a looping header into the far corner for the fourth.

"Ever since I was a kid here at Chelsea, this is what I've worked towards so to finally get the opportunity is an amazing feeling and to do it in front of my family and all the fans here at Stamford Bridge is just incredible," Hall told the club's website.

"I found out I was starting during the day. We had a meeting where the manager announced the starting 11 and I was really nervous straight away.

"As soon as I saw my name on the team sheet, I was shaking and everything. I had to take a couple of hours to process it."

Those nerves were quickly banished as a few neat early touches settled the youngster down and he claimed the support of the home fans helped him to quickly get into his stride.

"Being at home, the fans gave me confidence in myself, especially towards the beginning of the game when I kept it simple and the fans recognised that," he explained.

"They were behind us all so that gave me the confidence to show what I could do.

"Each day I feel like I'm progressing playing with these top players and hopefully I can maybe get some more opportunities in the future."
