Chelsea defender Reece James admitted his delight at getting on the scoresheet against Arsenal.

The Blues right-back popped up with a key second goal in the first-half to secure three points for his side away from home in the Premier League on Sunday.

James has now established himself as Chelsea's first choice right back in their five-at-the-back formation.

"It's obviously great to score for my club against such tough opposition and to help the team to win today is a great feeling," he told the club's website.

"We started so well and so sharply, got the two fast goals early on and that helped settle the game down.

"We knew it was going to be a hard place to come with their fans back in the stadium and because the start of the season is always hard to get going, but we did really well to get the away win. It's a massive derby against a very big rival, so to get three points was very special."
