These Chelsea fans all noticed the same thing about Tammy Abraham's goal against Lille

Tammy Abraham has had a fine season so far for Chelsea - and it got even better this evening (Wednesday) with his first goal in the Champions League.

The Blues striker had already scored seven goals in the Premier League for Chelsea this season, including a hat-trick against Wolverhampton Wanderers in a 5-2 victory at Molineux last season.

But he made it eight for the campaign as he added a goal in Europe's premier club competition to his tally this evening as he scored the opening goal in Chelsea's Group H clash with Lille in France.

Abraham was found in space in the middle of the penalty box, with the striker coolly controlling a cross, before applying the finish to give Frank Lampard's men the lead just before the midway point of the first half.

Lille equalised 11 minutes later thanks to a goal from Victor Osimhen, but the Chelsea man's goal was a fine way to mark his birthday as Abraham celebrated the occasion with a goal, and several fans noted a strange quirk about the timing of the goal for the striker, who turns 22 today.
