Olivier Giroud will be happy with his switch to Chelsea as he finds himself in a bigger club and is even getting more minutes on the pitch.

The France international got an assist and a goal against Hull City in the FA Cup fifth round tie at Stamford Bridge, and Chelsea boss Antonio Conte was pleased with his performance.

Conte said: “It is important for his confidence. When you score the confidence grows. It was very important. He is an international and important player.”

Conte hailed Chelsea’s front three as the trio got on the scoresheet. He said: “But it was important for Willy and Pedro to score.”
