Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel could not resist but to tease Lewis Hall after his excellent debut against Chesterfield in the FA Cup.
The Blues raced into a commanding early lead at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening with Timo Werner, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Romelu Lukaku all netting in the first 20 minutes.
17-year-old Hall hit the byline and whipped in an excellent cross for Lukaku’s strike, while he also fired a powerful effort towards goal just before the half-time break which was parried to Andreas Christensen, who netted Chelsea’s fourth with a looping header.
Hakim Ziyech also marked his name on the scoresheet to hand Chelsea a perfect win.
After the game Tuchel was very happy to see Hall announce himself in such confident fashion – particularly because he is usually so quiet in training.
Speaking to BBC Sport after Hall had given his own interview, the German coach said:
"Did he say much in his interview? I haven’t heard him speak so much in training!
"But he deserved to play, he is a nice guy and very calm. A huge opportunity at Stamford Bridge. He took his chance and was hugely involved in some of the goals. I’m happy for him."
