Chelsea fans loved what Tammy Abraham did after his first Blues Premier League goal

There was a special moment between Tammy Abraham and Frank Lampard during Chelsea's 3-2 win over Norwich City.

After netting his first ever Premier League goal for the Blues after three minutes at Carrow Road, the striker made his way to the away team dugout to celebrate with the head coach.

And Abraham explained why this was his choice of celebration.

"It’s always nice to have that support behind you, especially how he supports the young lads, he told the club's official website. "He gives us confidence.

"When a coach believes in you, you just want to do your best and give 100 per cent."

Lampard also revealed that he had played mind games with Abraham before kick-off.

"No, but I spoke to him before the game that I felt that today was the day for him," Lampard said. "It was a bit of kidology before the game, really, but I do trust in him and I know that as a striker, a young striker, you do need that support and I genuinely mean that.

"I did feel something for him today and it will do wonders for his confidence and I am pleased that he came over.

"But we are a group, it wasn’t just him who came over, everyone comes over and that is how we need to move forward."
