'It drives me on' - Abraham revels in proving doubters wrong after scoring first Chelsea goals

Tammy Abraham says his underwhelming start to the season served to motivate him as he opened his Chelsea account against Norwich in the Premier League on Saturday.

New manager Frank Lampard is investing plenty of faith in the 21-year-old this season and was rewarded with a well-taken brace. Fellow youngster Mason Mount bent in a fine finish of his own to help Chelsea to a 3-2 win, their first of the season.

Abraham, who spent last season on loan with Aston Villa, was well aware of criticism of his performances but says it only drove him on to improve.
