Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham wants to answer his haters by delivering great performances.

The 21-year-old suffered racist abuse at the hands of online fans after missing a penalty in the UEFA Super Cup shootout against Liverpool, which his side lost.

But Abraham will not let the "haters" get to him.

"Things happen in football. Unfortunately for me I was on the receiving end," Abraham told Sky Sports News.

"I have had experiences of taking penalties under pressure [and] tucking them away. Unfortunately for me I missed.

"I was getting some abuse but for me I am a positive guy. I don't listen to the rubbish, to the people who try to bring you down. I just try to keep the focus on me and keep going."
