DBasia.news – Chelsea’s match against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the 2022-2023 Premier League continuation is an unforgettable memory for Armando Broja. He managed to score his first goal for the Blues.
In the match that took place at Stamford Bridge, Saturday (8/10), Chelsea appeared superior. Graham Potter’s team beat Wolves 3-0.
Kai Havertz opened the scoring for Chelsea with a header in first-half injury time. Christian Pulisic then doubled it in the 54th minute.
Two goals were considered safe enough by Potter. He also began to rotate the squad.
Potter brought on Broja in the 72nd minute to replace Mason Mount. The Albanian national player took advantage of this opportunity to the fullest.
Broja was able to register his name on the scoreboard as well as complete Chelsea’s victory in the 89th minute. His curling shot into the corner of the goal was unable to be anticipated by Jose Sa.
It was Broja’s first goal with the Chelsea first team. He was just promoted ahead of the 2022-2023 season.
The match against Wolves was not Broja’s first time with Chelsea. But he was unable to contain his happiness as he was able to score goals.
“It’s not real, I’ve been waiting for my first goal and it’s a real moment. I can’t put it into words,” stated Broja after the game.
This goal is important for Broja. In addition to increasing self-confidence, his quality is now increasingly being taken into account.
Broja is a product of the Chelsea academy. However, he was at a loan spell with Vitesse and Southampton.
Last summer, Chelsea had wanted to return to loan Broja. However, the plan was canceled following the departure of Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner.
Broja’s success in opening a goal account also pleased Potter. He already had a plan for his young attacker.
“He will make an impact off the bench, and you can see what he brings to the team. He has to be patient, but he is working hard in training, and I think that goal was a big goal for him,” continued Potter.
