Mohamed Salah: 'First Chelsea goal helped my confidence'

Mohamed Salah has said that scoring his first goal for Chelsea has boosted his confidence this week.

The winger, who moved to Stamford Bridge in January, added the final goal in the team's 6-0 win over Arsenal last weekend.

The 21-year-old told the club's website: "It's very important for me and it's great for my confidence. It was very nice to see the reaction of my teammates when I scored. They have really helped me settle in.

"It's the best league in the world and it's more difficult here because every player is so strong and aggressive. The games are quicker, too. You have to concentrate very hard before every game, even the day or two days before, because every match is so difficult.

"I hope to play some more matches but I know now it's difficult because I came in winter. Also, I'm now at one of the best clubs in the world. It's not easy to play because all of our players are very, very good."

Chelsea visit Crystal Palace in the Premier League this weekend.
