Frank Lampard heaped praise on Tammy Abraham Following his hat-trick at a win for Chelsea at Wolves in the Premier League.
Lampard has incorporated youth players when taking over as boss, as he was faced with a move ban, and they have repaid his faith at the opening five games of the season.
On Saturday, Abraham scored a fantastic hat-trick in Molineux – having scored twice in each of his past two league games – with Fikayo Tomori along with Mason Mount.
And Lampard was thrilled with their attempts, telling Sky Sports:”I am thrilled to see [kids taking their chances] since it is not easy.
“Tammy is [looking the part] and that’s work, having gone out on loan and scoring lots of targets in the Championship, having a year in the Premier League and today I think he believes the responsibility of this Chelsea shirt as he should. The last 3 games speak for themselves.
“The only real challenge for Tammy today is can he keep doing this? Can he get better and better since the way he is playing, he’s a massive danger for us up front and there’s rivalry within from [Olivier] Giroud and [Michy] Batshuayi therefore that he needs to keep it at the level and get better.
“Tomori had a terrific year in the Championship this past season but that is up a step and he’s absolutely taken to it and got an incredible goal today, which will be a huge memory for him going forward. It’s time, the kids deserved their chances and they need to keep improving.”
The praise kept using Phil Thompson appreciating his development in Chelsea, coming on Soccer Saturday to Abraham.
“He was very, very great. His job is to score goals, but he also got involved in the rest of the match,” he explained.
“He got three goals, an own goal and cramp, therefore it had been rather an afternoon ! He directed the line closely and had been fantastic. And he is only getting better and better”
Wolves begin their Europa League campaign on Thursday and will go on the back of the thick Chelsea conquer, without the wins however in the Premier League this season.
Understandably, manager Nuno Espirito Santo was not happy with his side’s display, telling Sky Sports:”It was a terrible performance. We started the match well, creating and pressing moments that were good. The game transformed with a target, everything becomes and the staff dropped a bit of concentration.
“Now we had been beaten, Chelsea were better than people and we have to recognise this, congratulate Chelsea and move forward. Bad games could happen, but what is important is that they can not be repeated by us. We must react and become better.”
