Tammy Abraham’s hat-trick against Wolverhampton Wanderers meant that he has achieved something that only two players in Premier League history have before.
Abraham had netted four goals in two Premier League appearances heading into this game. The faith that Frank Lampard has shown in him was rewarded two games on the bounce.
He stepped it up a notch against Wolves, netting a first-half brace and following it up with a third in the second, his first ever hat-trick in the Premier League.
Abraham just cannot stop scoring, and he’s put himself on par with two of the most prolific players in his age group the Premier League has seen with another super showing today.

Dele Alli may have gone off the boil of late, but there’s certainly no shame in matching the accomplishments of Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the best to ever do it.
The sky is the limit for our Tammy…
