Giroud: ' I would have been very happy if Timo had scored'

Giroud expressed his happiness at beating a tough Leeds team. He added that he feels confident and is playing with 'serenity'.

Giroud also described Werner's assist for Pulisic as great.

"We conceded early and wanted to bounce back straight away. They [Leeds] were one of the best teams I have faced for a few months. Physically they run everywhere," Giroud told Sky Sports after the Leeds game.

It was so hard. It's a great feeling to win tonight and they drew against Man City and lost just to Liverpool. They really impress me. They are a good team.

"I feel good and confident. I play with serenity. I had the opportunity to score again today and help the team.

"I am happy for the squad and the staff. We work hard in training. We have faith in our gameplan and get better and better. The confidence is here and we want to keep that."

"That's a good cross from Reece James and I try to stay onside. At half time I asked and it was maybe the post or inside but it's okay. I would have been very happy if Timo [Werner] had scored. He made great assistance at the end.

"We work hard at training and take so much pleasure on the pitch. It's a good when you can show it at the weekend. It's why we enjoy together playing football."

Giroud has now scored 5 goals in his last 2 games and has scored 6 goals in 6 consecutive PL starts for Chelsea.
