Matt Miazga pleased with Chelsea debut

United States defender Matt Miazga has revealed his delight after making his Chelsea bow in their 4-0 win over Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Injuries to John Terry and Gary Cahill opened up a starting role for the 20-year-old, and the former New York Red Bulls defender was thrust straight into the XI at Villa Park for his debut.

"It was a good debut for me. I'm happy to contribute to the team and now I have to work hard in training to keep trying to get more chances. I found out in the morning I would be in the starting XI," Miazga told Chelsea's official website.

"It's my job, my profession and I have to be ready when I am called upon and show the manager I can contribute and help the club."

Miazga penned a four-and-a-half-year contract with Chelsea in January after the Premier League outfit had an offer of £3.5m accepted by the Red Bulls.
