Chelsea boss Frank Lampard was pleased for his goalscorers after their 2-1 win at Watford.

Goals from Tammy Abraham, the young striker's 10th of the season, and Christian Pulisic, his fourth in two games, opened up a 2-0 lead with an hour remaining. Watford managed to pull one back via a VAR spotkick, but the visitors held on.

Lampard said: "It's great to see Christian scoring a goal from four yards out. I love to see that because he could have decided not to go the extra mile and then that ball flashes across the face but nobody gets on the end of it. If he continues doing that sort of thing then the goals will rack up because there are a lot of goals to get in the six-yard box. I thought his general performance was top as well.

"I joked yesterday with Tammy that he's on a barren patch having not scored for three games but he's so hungry, he works hard, he wants to score goals. I thought the timing of the link between him and Jorginho for the goal was fantastic and then it's a great finish, and the assist where the pace of the cross that he gets on it really makes it."
