Just an hour after Chelsea’s victory over Spurs, Alfie Gilchrist was back on the Stamford Bridge pitch to speak about his night and the last few months, which have been a whirlwind.
Yesterday he was starting in a Chelsea team who convincingly beat Tottenham, making it two wins over their London neighbours this season. Apart from the 20-year-old defender, there were also Conor Gallagher and Trevoh Chalobah starting and then Josh Acheampong and Jimi Tauriainen came on to make their Premier League debuts. You almost forget that Gilchrist made his own Chelsea bow only a few months ago in December.
