Chelsea boss Frank Lampard was pleased with his goalscorers for their 2-0 defeat of Crystal Palace.

Tammy Abraham and Christian Pulisic were on again on the scoresheet.

Lampard said, "Some games as a striker in the Premier League will frustrate you because good defenders won't give you much space, so there's a problem for Tammy to solve. For any top striker we expect them to provide everything, goals, hold-up, and it's not always possible.

"Then you need to keep trying, keep running, and he did and gets his goal very clinically. So a great game from Tammy, even if it won't be his best game on the showreel.

"Christian came from another league, didn't really have a great break. He played some games early on and the pace of the Premier League is tough for any player, that's been proven time and time again.

"With Christian, I always believed that he had huge talent and was going to be a big player for us and he's absolutely showing that. He was first-class today, as he has been recently with his energy, movement off the ball, slipping past people, working off the ball and his quality, and getting in areas again to score in and around the six-yard box, which I think is a huge thing for any wide player.

"The only frustration is he comes off with a bit of an injury. He was going to be subbed before he scored his goal, he's got a bit of a hip issue, but I'm hoping it's not too bad because the way he's in full flow at the moment is great to see."
