He has also become the youngest player to score a hat-trick for ‘The Blues’.

He is also the first Englishman to score a Chelsea hat-trick since Lampard.

Tomori’s fantastic strike also adds to Mason Mount’s goal today as well as the midfielder’s strikes against Leicester and Norwich respectively.

Lampard was criticized following Abraham’s poor showing against Manchester United on the opening day.

Abraham also missed a spot-kick in the penalty shootout defeat to Liverpool in the UEFA Super Cup.

Shockingly, Jose Mourinho was part of the critics who felt that Mount and Abraham underperformed in the game against Man Utd. Lampard however, hit back at his former manager, citing that he (Lampard) doesn’t care about what anyone else thinks.

Mount and Abraham have gone on to repay Lampard for the great confidence he had in them.

It’s clear that Lampard is hoping to build a strong core around these Chelsea youngsters.
