'The start of an era!' - Chelsea fans love who assisted Tammy Abraham for his first England goal

Tammy Abraham's season is going from strength to strength.

For Chelsea he's already on 10 Premier League goals and is going some way to dismissing pre-season concerns as to if he could flourish at the very high level after impressing in two spells in the Championship.

The 22-year-old is now off the mark at international level.

With England leading 5-0 at the break, Gareth Southgate opted to bring on the Blues striker for hat-trick hero Harry Kane in the second half.

And Abraham got in on the act with a tap-in to make it 7-0 in the 84th minute.

But it's the player who squared the ball for the striker to score which has delighted Chelsea supporters.

Jadon Sancho was responsible for the assist and he admitted that Blues head coach Frank Lampard was one of three players he looked up to when growing up.

"Ronaldinho was the main guy I used to watch on YouTube.

"But I liked Frank Lampard quite a lot and Didier Drogba when they were playing for Chelsea. They were the three players I looked up to."

Amid talk of a future transfer to Stamford Bridge, the sight of Sancho setting up Abraham has sparked a massive reaction from Chelsea fans on social media.

Take a look at what's been said on Twitter...
