Academy graduate, Tammy Abrahams, again proved his mettle on Saturday when he scored two goals in Chelsea’s match against Sheffield.
It may not immediately matter that the team squandered his sweat by eventually getting the goals neutralized, the fact is that it is the same young player that some fans had racially harassed about two weeks back, when he lost a penalty, that has been pouncing in goals.
He did the same for Chelsea last week.
Abrahams thus remains one of the players to watch this and other seasons to come.
Chelsea threw away the two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with newly promoted Sheffield United , leaving manager Frank Lampard still looking for his first home win.
Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham got his name on the score-sheet at Stamford Bridge for the first time with two first-half goals, NAN says.
Abraham, one of several players from Chelsea’s youth academy given a chance by Lampard, slotted home in the 19th minute when Sheffield keeper Dean Henderson failed to gather the ball under pressure from Christian Pulisic.
Abraham doubled Chelsea’s lead in the 43rd minute when he capitalised on a defensive mix-up.
But the visitors pulled a goal back immediately after half-time when Callum Robinson converted a cross from Enda Stevens and equalised in the 89th minute when Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma netted past Kepa Arrizabalaga.
