The Blues striker finally opened his goal account for the club after a long wait during a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Norwich at Carrow Road
Tammy Abraham is doing what he “always dreamed” of after opening his senior goal account for Chelsea in a 3-2 victory over Norwich.
He told BT Sport: “It is something I have always dreamed about doing.
“To score for my childhood club. To get into the first team and to start scoring goals. I am just happy I can help my team.”
Frank Lampard has been prepared to trust Abraham this season after taking the managerial reins at Chelsea.
The Blues legend is putting faith in youth and academy graduates, with England international frontman Abraham among those he has inherited.
And the forward said of his boss: "I didn't even know how to celebrate so I just ran over to the management and the staff. It always gives confidence to me and the young boys when the coach believes in you."
A new era in west London has hit some early bumps in the road, but Chelsea have now collected a first win of 2019-20.
Abraham said on helping to secure a much-needed three points: “I wouldn't say it's a relief but we knew we had to win.
“The first two games of the season were tough. We came here knowing we needed the three points.”
He added on the challenge posed by newly-promoted Norwich: “We knew coming here was never going to be easy, it's always tough.
“We started off on the front foot, we knew we had to. We conceded but we came in to dressing room and knew there would be more chances.”

I really like the way Lampard team is playing. attacks very well but the problem is the defense moreover it seems after scoring a goal they relength their attacking effort.

They were loaned out 5 times but they stayed at the club they joined as kids. Frank Lampard put their faith in them and now they are repaying him. Mason Mount and Tammy Abraham - what a story!
