Chelsea's official X account shared a 69-second interview with Jorrel Hato following his memorable first goal for the club during the 5-1 FA Cup third-round victory over Charlton Athletic . The win secured Chelsea's place in the fourth round and marked an encouraging early moment in Liam Rosenior's tenure, as detailed by SoftFootball .
For Hato, the night carried personal significance as he opened his Chelsea account in unexpected fashion. The 19-year-old defender, signed from Ajax for 46.5 million in August 2025, found the net with a deflected long-range strike while operating in an advanced role.
His performance came just days after Rosenior officially began work with the squad, a transition SoftFootball highlighted when reporting on the coach's positive start to life at Stamford Bridge . Despite being deployed primarily as a left back, Hato frequently drifted into central attacking areas, showing the tactical flexibility Chelsea are beginning to encourage.
