On a memorable day for Chelsea, manager Frank Lampard marked his first win with a 3-2 victory over Norwich on Saturday, August 24, 2019.

Chelsea's young side, led by Lampard, earned their maiden win of the season at the fourth attempt, with Tammy Abraham scoring a brace and Mason Mount netting his second goal of the season.

Abraham opened the scoring early on with his first senior goal for Chelsea, but Norwich striker Teemu Pukki equalized twice, leaving the score tied at 2-2 at halftime.

Abraham sealed the win for Chelsea in the second half, but Lampard had no grand plans to celebrate his maiden victory.

"If celebration means a couple of glasses of wine while watching the baby monitor this evening and watching Match of the Day, then that will be it. That's the way life is these days!" Lampard said.

Chelsea's travelling support revelled in the fact that their goals came from two players who have come up through the ranks at Stamford Bridge, Abraham and Mount.

Abraham has spent plenty of time out on loan and excelled at Aston Villa in the Championship last season before returning to Chelsea and becoming Lampard's first-choice striker.

Mount spent last year with Lampard at Derby, and the manager was pleased to see both his youngsters on the scoresheet.
