Madueke proud proving Chelsea matchwinner

Chelsea winger Noni Madueke was delighted proving the matchwinner against Crystal Palace.

Chelsea won 2-1 with substitute Madueke coming off the bench to convert an 89th minute penalty.

He later said: "It was a difficult game. Credit to Crystal Palace, they played some good stuff and were difficult to breakdown. But credit to us too, we deserved it.

"It was a stonewall penalty. I scored one earlier in the cup and I was confident with my technique [in the absence of usual penalty takers Raheem Sterling and Cole Palmer].

"You want to play all the time. You want to be able to make an impact like I did today when you come off the bench."
