Former Premier League striker Ian Wright has praised Chelsea youngster Tammy Abraham for the way he's taken his chance in the Blues' team.
The 21-year-old scored a hat trick in Chelsea's 5-2 win over Wolves on Saturday, taking his Premier League goals tally to seven in just five appearances.
All them seven goals have come in the last three Premier League games, after the striker drew a blank in the opening matches against Manchester United and Leicester City. He also missed the crucial penalty in the UEFA Super Cup defeat to Liverpool.
However, Wright has said that he is now proving Frank Lampard right for having faith in him to deliver.
“It’s a brilliant start to the season for him [Abraham]," he said on Match of the Day.
"He was under a bit of pressure at the start for some reason, people saying he hasn’t adjusted to it because he missed a couple of chances in the first game but he’s got a manager who has faith in him.
“What I like about the first goal is that once he gets the touch, you think he’s going the other way but he pulls it back across the keeper. He can stretch the defence and once he stands you up, look how quick his feet are.”
Abraham will look to continue his impressive recent goalscoring form when Chelsea take on Valencia in their first Champions League game of the season on Tuesday.
