Chelsea substitute Armando Broja has had his say on the reality of competing and playing second fiddle to the likes of Kai Havertz and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang during his early senior days at the club following the 3-0 Wolves Premier League win.
72 minutes in, the Albanian-born forward was introduced into proceedings at the expense of Mason Mount, with Graham Potter's side in a comfortable position at 2-0 after Havertz and Pulisic had netted either side of half-time.
18 minutes or so later, the former Southampton loanee found himself on the scoresheet for the first time at senior level for Chelsea following an 'unstoppable' finish that was the consequence of an acute through ball from fellow substitute Mateo Kovacic.
The 21-year-old's celebration showcased just how much the moment meant to him personally, and as well as describing his emotions to that exact moment, the centre-forward also opened up on the reality of having to be patient behind the preferred duo of Aubameyang and Havertz.

"It's always a wait when they check for a possible offside. I was keeping my fingers crossed, but I thought I had timed my run well," he told BBC Sport post-match.
"Thanks to the fans for the support. It's unreal, I've been waiting for my first goal. It's a surreal moment. I can't put it into words. Onto Tuesday now. It was a good performance.
"Everyone knows at one of the biggest clubs in the world, there will be competition. It helps us all develop as players. We have a big squad, and everyone is needed at all times."
On Tuesday, it's likely manager Potter will return to type, with Aubameyang set to get the nod ahead of his competitors for the AC Milan return. The £11 million Deadline Day recruit rested the full 90 minutes against the manager-less Wolves. But Broja will know that he will have to keep being patent and taking his chances when afforded them if he is to forge a long-term career in SW6.
