Malang Sarr made his Premier League debut for Chelsea on Saturday. The Blues defeated Brentford 1-0 thanks to a strike by Ben Chilwell. Thomas Tuchel’s men went top of the league and afterwards, Edouard Mendy and Reece James praised Sarr on Instagram.
The French defender has had to wait for his Chelsea debut. After signing from Nice, he was sent on loan to Porto by Frank Lampard. Now, he’s back at Stamford Bridge and looking to make an impact.
Sarr played in the Carabao Cup against Aston Villa last month. He helped the team to a penalty shootout victory but has struggled to get involved in the Premier League.
Before Saturday he’d failed to make a matchday squad in the league campaign. Based on his showing at the Brentford Community Stadium, it might not be such a long wait for his next outing.
The 22-year-old played superbly well in the win and will have caught the eye of Tuchel. Ahead of Chelsea's next game, the French boss now has something of a selection headache.
