Tammy Abraham shatters Eden Hazard record at Chelsea as he nets hat-trick against Wolves

Tammy Abraham broke a record held by Eden Hazard at Chelsea by becoming the youngest player to score a hat-trick at the club.

The 21-year-old was on fire against Wolves, netting his first on the 34-minute mark before bagging two more either side of the half time break.

Hazard previously held the record for being the youngest player at Chelsea to score a hat-trick in a professional game against Newcastle back in 2014.

But Hazard was 23 at the time in the 3-0 win, meaning Abraham has beaten the record by a staggering two years.

Abraham has also become the first English player to score a hat-trick for Chelsea since Frank Lampard all the way back in 2011.

The now Chelsea manager bagged three against Bolton in a 5-1 win.

As things stand, Abraham is now the Premier League's most lethal marksman and sits at the top of the goalscoring chart with seven for the season.

Ahead of Chelsea's clash with Wolves , Lampard spoke out about Abraham's start to the season in the press.

"It has been very good. I am delighted for Tammy and his goals in the last two games," said Lampard.

"I keep saying it, but his attitude and enthusiasm to train and improve is always there daily. Hence the goals, I think those things come hand-in-hand."
