Levi Colwill had an excellent game yesterday not only defensively, but also in scoring perhaps the most important goal of Chelsea’s season. It earned them 3 points today and got them into the Champions League, ultimately.

Speaking to Chelsea TV after the game, he didn’t hide his joy at having got the goal.

“It was a tough game. We always knew it was going to be a tough atmosphere and a tough place to play, but we showed the maturity about us and we got the win,” the defender said.

“We didn’t play the football that we like to, that we usually do, but we got the win, and we knew that coming in [that’s what we needed] and that’s what we did, simple as.”

“We were mature, and we got the job done. We got a clean sheet in a game like this, where they hit you on the hard counter attacks, and they’re very good at that. For us to stop them and nullify them, I think we did a really good job defensively. But that starts with Pedro [Neto] as a nine, all the way back to Rob [Sanchez] in goal.

He said his goal had felt like it was in “slow motion,” and having gambled at the far post, he got his reward.

Colwill on his development

“I’ve matured a lot, I’m playing for the team a lot more now. If we win and get a clean sheet, I’m happy,” the academy defender concluded.

We’ve already made it clear how much we like Levi, and we can’t wait to see him continue to develop in this team.

His ceiling is so high, and he took another step towards it with his performance today.
