Chelsea had to battle hard for their first win of the season as they narrowly beat a resolute Norwich City 3-2, with Mason Mount and Tammy Abraham impressing.
Chelsea were made to sweat for it but ultimately landed their first win under Frank Lampard. Norwich refused to fold in an open match that had many great chances and overall, eye-pleasing football for the fans and neutrals.
It was the academy that shined for Chelsea at Carrow Road, with Frank Lampard likely to be relieved at seeing Tammy Abraham score a brace, especially after he was brought into the lineup to replace Olivier Giroud. Mason Mount continued to impress as the storyline of a youth revolution as Chelsea begins to spread it’s wings.
Chants of “Super Frankie Lampard” and “oh Tammy Tammy” on the final whistle. This is a fan base that identifies with their club again. #CFC #NORCHE

Frank Lampard’s first competitive win as Chelsea manager!
Some great performances and his trust in Tammy and Mason was repaid.
Still concerning how easy teams can walk through our midfield, but only positive thoughts from me right now!

Very good game from Tammy.
Made a lot of doubters wonder if they may have been a bit too reactionary so far.
Repaid Lampard for the faith he put in him.
