Malo Gusto finally scored his first Chelsea goal in the win against Wolves after making 98 appearances for the club.
Gusto headed home from close range to finally give the Blues the lead at Stamford Bridge, but also put an end to a nightmare run for himself in front of goal.
Enzo Maresca celebrated Gusto’s goal wildly, with the Frenchman becoming a key player for him since he took over as manager.
The strike got us thinking about the other Chelsea players in the squad, and their first goals for the club. Every outfield first team player has now found the net other than Romeo Lavia and Dario Essugo.
