Abraham on Chelsea fight-back: What Lampard said at halftime...

Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham says they were always confident of fighting back at West Brom.

Three-nil down at halftime, Chelsea fought back to draw 3-3.

Abraham said, "In the first half we made it difficult for ourselves. I had a chance I should have put away and one I should be taking at this level. They scored from every shot. We knew we had to come out in the second half and not drop our heads - and that's what we did.

"We all went in and our heads were down and he (manager Frank Lampard) had to lift us up. He said we didn't look like a team ready to go out and win and we needed to pick each other up in the second half. Thankfully Mason [Mount] got the goal which meant we could believe. I knew we'd get chances but to come back from 3-0 is never easy. The boys deserve credit, they kept going."

On lessons to take away, the striker added: "We need to cut out the mistakes as a team so we don't concede. We need to be strong together and keep encouraging one another."
