Chelsea boss Lampard: I'm especially happy for Tomori

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard was delighted for his young players after their 5-2 win at Wolves.

Blues striker Tammy Abraham, 21, scored his treble in the space of 21 minutes to make it seven goals in his past three appearances. Fikayo Tomori - another 21-year-old - opened the scoring with a stunning 25-yard finish.

Abraham also scored an own goal as Romain Saiss' header struck his right hand before crossing the line, before Patrick Cutrone added a second Wolves goal from close range.

Mason Mount, 20, added Chelsea's fifth goal with virtually the last kick of the game.

"I'm delighted for them all but particularly for Fikayo Tomori," said Lampard. "He has worked so hard from where he started to now - it's superb.

"We're trying to give chances to the youngsters and they are scoring and showing us why we should keep putting them in the team."
