Giroud brushes off Chelsea future question after four-goal haul: Let me enjoy it!

Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud is not thinking about when he will get his next starting opportunity for the club.

The French center forward grabbed his latest chance with both hands, scoring four goals away from home in the Champions League against Sevilla.

He got all the goals as the blues won 4-0 away from home, and it made him the oldest player to score a Champions League hat trick.

"Let me enjoy the night and that great win," he told BT Sport.

"And after that we will rest and we will see what the gaffer's plan is."

He added: "When you win 4-0 in a Champions League away game it's always a great feeling and a good performance from the team. We took the game from the front foot and we were efficient up front, especially for me because I scored four goals.

"I didn't know until two years ago that you called it a perfect hat-trick, when I scored against Kiev in Europa League I said, 'What do you mean?' It was good, I had good assists though.

"I will try to carry on like that to finish the good job of the team and it's always nice to be in the club history and we play football to mark our history, so I'm pleased to help the team to win and to score the four goals."
