Tiemoue Bakayoko: I'll be stronger for winning Chelsea debut

Tiemoue Bakayoko says he'll be stronger for his winning Chelsea debut at Tottenham on Sunday.

Bakayoko played the full 90 minutes as the Blues secured a 2-1 win over their fierce London rivals.

The midfielder, who joined Chelsea in a £40m move from French side Monaco in July, described his first outing for his new club as "mixed" but believes his best is yet to come once he fully settles into the rhythm of the English top-flight.

Speaking to SFR Sport, Bakayoko said: "Yeah, I held on. Of course, it wasn't easy, I needed to get the rhythm. The Premier League is so different from Ligue 1.

"I got to see it from the first minutes. So I needed to be ready. In general, I'm a little bit mixed about my game. I had some good moments, but some bad moments too.

"Like I said, I need to get the rhythm. It was first match since the injury so, it will come, but I'm happy overall."
