BBC pundit names the Chelsea player who was 'outstanding' in the win against Watford

Tammy Abraham has been hailed for his performance against Watford on Saturday after helping Chelsea to victory.

The Blues won 2-1 at Vicarage Road to make it five wins in a row in the Premier League, with Frank Lampard's men moving up to third in the table, prior to Leicester City's win against Crystal Palace, which moved the Foxes back above the Blues on goal difference.

Abraham was on target again with his tenth goal of the season, netting inside five minutes at Vicarage Road to give Chelsea the lead against the Premier League's bottom side.

And BBC pundit Garth Crooks, who has included Abraham in his team of the week after his display against Watford, has described Abraham as a "team player" after also providing the assist for Christian Pulisic's goal in the second half.

"This lad is looking more like a Premier League centre-forward the more I see him," said Crooks, in his weekly feature for the BBC website .

"The awareness and movement from [Tammy] Abraham for Jorginho's pass, which resulted in Chelsea's opening goal, was outstanding. Abraham clearly has ability, but he is also brave and not afraid to go in where it hurts. A crucial quality for any striker. He's also a team player. The assist for Pulisic was totally unselfish."

Abraham was not the only Chelsea player included in Crooks' team of the week, with Jorginho also selected by the former Tottenham forward.
