London: Liam Delap says he and his Chelsea teammates ‘got the job done’ by securing their place in the Club World Cup knockout stage, and the striker hopes his goal against ES Tunis will be the first of many in blue.
After Tosin Adarabioyo had opened the scoring with a well-placed header in first-half stoppage time, Delap opened his account with a turn and ball role, which gave him space to slot home. Tyrique George then wrapped up the win in the final moments at the Lincoln Financial Field.
Delap knew how crucial the game was to the Blues, with victory securing safe passage to the Round of 16, where Chelsea will face Benfica.
“We knew we had to win tonight to get through, and we’re pleased to get the job done. It’s a really happy feeling [to score] and hopefully, it’s the first of many. I love playing football, and to play for such a good team is a great feeling,” Delap was quoted as saying by Chelsea’s website. IANS
