Chelsea striker Abraham: Wolves thumping good for Fik, Mason and me

Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham is looking forward to today's clash with Wolves.

The youngster, who has enjoyed a fine breakthrough season for the Blues, netted his first Chelsea hat-trick in the 5-2 win which also saw fellow Academy graduates Fikayo Tomori and Mason Mount get on the scoresheet.

"It was one of those feelings where you score in two consecutive games so you're not under pressure to score," Abraham told the club's. "In my head I felt there was no pressure.

"I said to Fikayo (Tomori), 'I'm tired, man, I might just tell the manager to replace me' but Fik was like: 'Stay on the pitch, try and get your hat-trick' because it was the second game in a row I'd scored two goals.

"I came out for the second half and then I just remember I was one-on-one with Conor Coady and the confidence that I had inside me took the tiredness away, I did that skill to get away from him and scored.

"After the game me, Mason (Mount) and Fikayo were all talking and realising that we'd all just scored for Chelsea in the Premier League, so it was crazy and amazing feelings that day."
