Frank Lampard has paid tribute to Fikayo Tomori on an unforgettable day for Chelsea’s young stars.
Fikayo Tomori scored his first goal for Chelsea, a stunning curled effort from long range, to open the scoring before Tammy Abraham racked up his first Blues hat-trick and Mason Mount rounded out the afternoon in injury time.
Every Chelsea goal scored so far this season has come from a player in the academy, a fine repayment of Lampard's faith.
"Delighted for them all but particularly for Fikayo Tomori," Lampard told BBC Sport.
"He has worked so hard from where he started to now it’s superb. Also Tammy Abraham and Mason Mount - we are trying to give chances to the youngsters and they are scoring, taking their chances and showing us why we should keep putting them in the team.
"They deserve it, they have the quality but they also have a love for the club because they have come through the ranks.
"It's not just the youngsters though – players like Willian are having fantastic performances that are just as key."
