Two goals in his Premier League debut to give Huddersfield their ever top-flight win; not everyone can boast of such a start, except for Steve Mounie.

His first goal - Huddersfield's second - was a powerful header guided into the corner, while the second one was a snapshot beating the keeper at his near post.

Being inspired by Dider Drogba, the player aspires to become like him. He wants to follow his footsteps and become as successful as the Cheslea legend is.

"Now people know who I am. It was amazing to start like this. I couldn't imagine a better start. For my first game it's a big confident boost," said the player after the match.

Mounie is still very young, just 22 years old. He has a long career ahead and a lot to improve on. The club, the manager and the fans will be hoping that the £11.5m player, club's most expensive signing till date, can continue his good form and live up to the expectation.
