In a post-game interview with Chelsea TV, the young winger expressed his delight at being part of the victory, and how much he is enjoying plying his trade in west London. Despite limited English, the 18-year-old spoke with excitement and passion with a beaming smile that did not need any translating.
"Oh wow," he said. "I'm just so, so happy.
"I’m grateful to God, to my family, to all my team-mates, to the coaching staff and to everyone else at the club who has helped me with my football here.
"It’s an amazing feeling to score my first Premier League goal and in such a big game, I’m just so happy."
Estevao, who joined the club this summer from Palmeiras in a fee worth up to £55 million ($74m), revealed his manager gave him the freedom to go out and impact the game, despite his relative inexperience.
"I feel great right now and it’s so good that the manager has so much confidence in me," Estevao added.
"When I went on, he told me to just play my own game and to try and make an impact. He told me to try and score or create a goal and thankfully I managed to do that.
"I’m so happy for him and for all the belief that the manager, Enzo Maresca, has in me."
Estevao is clearly enjoying his football at the moment, and is showing little sign of the added pressure of Premier League football and a move to a new country.
"Things at Chelsea have gone a lot better so far than I maybe imagined," he stated. "I feel so good in training every day and I enjoy every moment.
"I have fantastic team-mates and coaching staff around me that help me each day, and it’s very helpful that I have my family with me and they’ve helped me really settle into life in England and the Premier League.
"I couldn’t be happier!"
