Olivier Giroud urged Chelsea coach Maurizio Sarri to play Callum Hudson-Odoi more often after the young winger impressed in his first Premier League start on Wednesday.
Chelsea ran out comfortable 3-0 winners over Brighton and Hove Albion at Stamford Bridge, with England international Hudson-Odoi setting up Giroud's opening goal with a pinpoint right-wing cross, as well as being a general nuisance to Brighton's defence.
Eden Hazard and Ruben Loftus-Cheek got the other goals, but Hudson-Odoi was arguably the standout performer for long periods.
