Jadon Sancho marked his Chelsea debut with a player of the match performance against Bournemouth – despite only coming on at half-time.
The England winger made a surprise transfer to Chelsea on loan from Manchester United on deadline day after three nightmare years at Old Trafford.
Aside from his brief loan spell at Borussia Dortmund last season, fans have scarcely seen the best of Sancho who was once considered one of the best young players in the world which lead to his £73million move to United.
Enzo Maresca opted not to start him at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday night but after an uninspiring first-half, where they were fortunate not to be behind, he was subbed on at the break for Pedro Neto.
The impact was instantaneous with Sancho creating all sorts of problems for the Cherries down the left-flank before setting up Christopher Nkunku to score the winner in the 86th minute.
He was named Player of the Match for his efforts and afterward he spoke of how ‘happy’ he was to play and to instantly feel ‘comfortable’ at the club – perhaps a dig at United and former manager Erik ten Hag.
‘It’s amazing to make my debut for Chelsea, just being back playing, I’m very grateful,’ the 24-year-old told Sky Sports.
