Stephy Mavididi pleased with Arsenal winner against Chelsea U23

Stephy Mavididi was happy to get off the mark for Arsenal U23 in their win against Chelsea.

The Derby-born striker scored the game's winning goal with just eight minutes remaining at Stamford Bridge.

He told arsenal.com: "I was waiting for my first goal but I wasn't really thinking about it too much because I knew once I got the first one that more would follow, so I'm just happy to get off the mark now.

"We needed it as a team, Everton was a tough game but we knew we had two back-to-back tough games so we had to adjust and we've come here and done really well. All the lads played well and I'm happy."
