Chelsea team-mates teased me before my free-kick goal, says Marcos Alonso

The Blues wing-back revealed how his team-mates were whispering in his ear as he prepared to take his shot from outside Bournemouth's 18-yard box

Marcos Alonso admitted that his Chelsea team-mates were joking with him ahead the free-kick that sealed a 3-1 victory over Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.

His 68th-minute free-kick helped seal victory as Chelsea struggled early in the second half, with their opponents pushing hard for an equaliser.

The 26-year-old's goal was his fifth of the season, with his family in attendance among the Chelsea supporters. Alonso admitted that his team-mates were teasing him because his recent attempts kept hitting the woodwork since he took over free-kick duty.
