Tammy Abraham: Chelsea hat-trick hero the new Premier League top scorer with three goals vs Wolves

Tammy Abraham scored a stunning hat-trick for Chelsea at Wolves to take his tally to seven goals for the 2019-20 season and go top of the Golden Boot race - for now, at least.

Abraham headed into Saturday's clash at Molineux with four goals in his last two League outings, and got another to put Chelsea 2-0 up following Fikayo Tomori's stunning 30-yard opener.

Tomori put the Blues ahead after 31 minutes, and Abraham struck three minutes later as he tucked home a loose ball after Conor Coady pulled down Mason Mount in the box.

Abraham then scored again four minutes before the interval off a Marcos Alonso cross to bring up his sixth of the season, matching Manchester City's Sergio Aguero for the most in the Premier League as Chelsea led 3-0 at half-time.

But Abraham was not done there - five minutes after the restart, the youngster held off Conor Coady before finishing powerfully to complete his hat-trick.

That goal took him clear of Aguero to sit top of the Golden Boot standings with seven goals so far this season - though Aguero and Raheem Sterling (five goals) will have a chance to leapfrog Abraham when Man City take on Norwich in Saturday's late kick-off.
