Lampard Pleased With Hudson-Odoi After Chelsea Beat Burnley

By Daily Sports on January 12, 2020

Frank Lampard was pleased to see the "real Callum Hudson-Odoi" score his first Premier League goal and has challenged the winger to match the high standards he set in the home win over Burnley.

The 19-year-old showed a nice bit of opportunism, stealing in to the box to finish off Cesar Azpilicueta's chipped ball, to net his side's third and seal a comfortable win after a Jorginho penalty and Tammy Abraham header had given them a 2-0 half-time lead.

Hudson-Odoi has admitted struggling to recapture his impressive form from last season because of fears he will suffer a recurrence of the Achilles injury he suffered in April.

But having played something of a bit-part role so far, he carried on his goalscoring form from last weekend's FA Cup third-round win over Nottingham Forest with another strike on Saturday.

"For Callum to score in the six-yard box is more exciting than him scoring from 30 yards without a doubt," said Lampard of Hudson-Odoi, who signed a five-year contract in July.

"It means he is willing to get in there. It wasn't the only time he did that. His overall performance was a statement of what he has to do.

"That was the real Callum. If he carries on like that we will have a real player."

Chelsea given helping hand, but deserve the win

The Blues have faltered at the Bridge in recent weeks, losing to three sides near the relegation zone, as part of a run of five defeats in nine games.

They initially struggled to break down a well-organised Burnley in the opening 25 minutes until Matt Lowton's reckless sliding tackle on Willian enabled Jorginho to open the scoring from the penalty spot.

Visiting keeper Nick Pope then allowed Tammy Abraham's close-range header to evade his grasp and find the net to give the Blues a grip on the game before they had even got out of second gear.

The Blues could have had more but three was plenty against a Clarets side who rarely threatened, coming closest to a goal through a Ben Mee header that Ross Barkley hacked off the line. (BBC)
