Chelsea youngster Billy Gilmour was full of pride after his contribution for their 7-1 Carabao Cup win over Grimsby Town.

Deployed in a deep-lying central midfield role, Gilmour grew into the game, and in the second half was arguably the standout performer.

"It was a really good feeling to make my full debut, and it was really good to get the win," said Gilmour to chelseafc.com.

"It was breathtaking. It was a great night to walk out in front of all the Chelsea fans. And the boys performed really well. You could see the attacking threat we had with the goals.

"The gaffer has come in and wants to play the youth. It's been really good experience for us and the we're gaining confidence from it. I have worked hard for this so it wasn't a shock, but I had to step up and show what I'm capable of. I think I played well."
