Olivier Giroud was “relieved” to get off the mark for Chelsea as he scored his first goal and got two assists in a 4-0 FA Cup hammering of Hull City on Friday.<\/p>\n

The Frenchman joined Chelsea for \u00a318 million from Arsenal in January and failed to score in his first couple of appearances against Watford and West Brom in the Premier league.<\/p>\n

But he ended that wait at Stamford Bridge, stabbing home from close range after good play by fellow new arrival Emerson Palmieri, completing the scoring just before half-time in an easy win that books the Blues’ place in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n

“To be honest, I was waiting for it [the first goal for Chelsea],” Giroud told BT Sport<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“I had a couple of chances in previous games, so yeah, it was very important to get the first goal and now I am a little relieved, to be honest.<\/p>\n

“I’m happy to set up Willian’s as well. I take a lot of pleasure on the pitch and I think we can see the team has a lot of cohesion.<\/p>\n

“It was important to bounce back from the defeat [against Watford] before the West Brom game, which was a disappointing result.<\/p>\n

“Seven goals, two clean sheets since \u2013 it’s what we needed.”<\/p>\n

Although Giroud impressed with his three goal involvements, Willian was arguably the star of the show, scoring twice and catching the eye throughout in a very lively display.<\/p>\n

And the Brazilian saluted the overall performance of Chelsea, saying they made the game “easy”.<\/p>\n

“It was a great performance,” Willian added. “Honestly, we expected a difficult game, but the game became easy because of us.<\/p>\n

“We played very well from the beginning, scoring a lot and we did a great job. In football you always have to improve and we did that in the last two weeks, working hard to improve ourselves.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
