He said: "As a striker, sometimes you don’t look at the goal.
"You shoot and it’s going in but you need a bit of luck.
"It’s important keep the confidence high and work for your team-mates so I tried to deliver some passes for Willian and Eden.
"I’m happy because we won and even if I didn’t score I’m sure I will in the next games."
The France international has just one goal to his name since making the £18m switch from Arsenal in January transfer window.
The Frenchman was unlucky not to add to his tally against Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge, however set up Willian for the opener and later struck the post.

The former Arsenal forward who made the starting line up in Antonio Conte's side, explained how he just missed out on his first league goal for the Stamford Bridge outfit.
"Sometimes the goal looks smaller in certain games and that was the fact for me.
"I kept going, kept believing I could score but I was a bit unlucky.
"The defender saved the ball off the line (pictured below), and after that I hit the post.
"After that I just tried to play with my team-mates and the most important thing was that I felt good on the pitch," he said.
The Eagles grabbed a late consolation, but the win mean Chelsea are now within four points of Liverpool in fourth place.
Following the Reds' loss at Old Trafford at the weekend, Conte's men now stand an outside chance of making a top four finish.
The league defending champions are also in contention for the FA Cup, but in serious danger of not playing the Champions League next season if they drop out of the top four places.
