'Absolutely unreal' - Chelsea fans love what one player did before Tammy Abraham's goal

Chelsea continued their excellent form with a 2-1 win at Watford at Vicarage Road on Saturday.

Frank Lampard's side made it five league wins in a row and seven consecutive wins away from home, after goals from Tammy Abraham and Christian Pulisic.

The Blues made the perfect start after Abraham finished well past Hornets' goalkeeper Ben Foster the fifth minute.

It was Abraham's ninth goal of the season, and his finish received praise from fans and pundits, but it was the assist from Jorginho that caught the attention of Chelsea fans on social media.

The Italian midfielder has established himself as an integral part of Lampard's squad, and has been named as the club's vice captain having played a part in every league game so far.

He was unsurprisingly named in the starting 11 for the trip to Vicarage Road, and proved his worth to Chelsea by playing in Abraham with a brilliant first-time pass forward for the striker.

"It’s great to watch, I enjoyed watching their play," Lampard said after the win.

"For 25 minutes it was outstanding, we controlled it and then we got a bit sloppy as a team.

"Again, second half, the link between Jorginho and Kovacic and Mason, their comfort on the ball, their pass appreciation, their ability to find a forward pass or break the forward line, Kovacic in particular driving through the midfield at times, I thought they were outstanding."

Following the pass, fans took to social media to also heap their own praise on the player.
