Levi Colwill said it felt good to score his first goal for Chelsea in their 4-0 Premier League win over Southampton at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night, Afrosport reports.
Colwill scored the third goal while Christopher Nkunku, Pedro Neto and Marc Cucurella scored the rest to temporarily move Chelsea back into the top four.
Colwill scoring against Southampton was special because it was the area he was born and grew up around St. Mary’s.
“I’ve missed a few chances this season, so it felt really good to get a goal,’ Colwill explained after the game,” he told the club website.
“Of course, it was against a team I played for when I was young, and it’s the city I live in. I have a few friends who are Southampton fans, so it meant a lot to me. I grew up around St Mary’s Stadium, that’s where I learned a lot of my traits, so it meant a lot to me.”

Chelsea recorded their first win in five games which Colwill said was a much-needed boost for the team.
“The last few games have been tough, so it was important to bounce back,” he added. “To get those goals, keep a clean sheet, and most importantly boost our confidence – hopefully, we can take it on to the next game.
“We all trust each other and knew it would come. Every team goes through bad times or tough patches, we just have to get out of it and that’s what we did today. It raises our confidence.”
Chelsea will next be in action against FC Copenhagen in the UEFA Conference League round of 16 next Thursday.
