Journalist Daniel Storey has shared a stat which shows just how much Frank Lampard has revolutionised this side so soon into his tenure as Chelsea manager.
It may be all we Chelsea fans seem to talk about nowadays, but you cannot blame us for being delighted to see our younger players (finally) be given opportunities to impress in the first-team.
We have longed for their involvement for so many years, continually seeing promising young talents walk out the door having achieved next to nothing at this club.
No longer shall that occur, though, at least not as long as Lampard holds the reins at Stamford Bridge. Have a look at this crazy stat shared by Daniel Storey on Twitter.
Chelsea's 11 league goals this season have all been scored by academy graduates.
Before this season, 16 of their last 424 league goals were scored by academy graduates.

Just 16 out of 424 Premier League goals were scored by products of our academy – that is inexplicable. Thankfully, Lampard has wasted no time ridding this club of the bad habits we had got ourselves into.
Let’s hope that we are able to sustain it long-term…
