Lampard: 'Chelsea have a great squad of young players'

"I'm pleased with the whole team, especially Fikayo Tomori," Lampard toldBBCafter the Wolves game. "He's worked really hard from day one until now. Tammy Abraham and Mason Mount have been impressive. We're giving young players a chance and after their performances, they've shown they deserve it. They're fantastic players, they have class and they love the club."

In his second start of the season, Tomori opened the scoring with a 40-yard strike from distance. The 21-year-old defender's superb strike was the start of a resounding victory for Chelsea against an opponent who had taken just one point from their two Premier League meetings last season.

"The young players know how to create chances and score goals. That's very important. But not only them, experienced players like Willian are also playing well. That's the key to winning. This season, Chelsea had good matches but lost points. The good news is that we didn't repeat that against Wolves," Lampard continued to praise his players.

After five rounds, Chelsea have only had three players score: Abraham (7 goals), Mount (2) and Tomori (1). But according to Lampard, this is not a worrying sign because Chelsea always creates enough opportunities in every match. "Abraham scored three goals in different styles. He always wants to score, like the rest of the team. The important thing is that we are united and understand each person's task," the 41-year-old coach affirmed.

The win over Wolves moved Chelsea up to sixth place with eight points. They are two points behind second-placed Man City and seven points behind leaders Liverpool.
