Chelsea coach Frank Lampard is pleased to see the youngster Callum Hudson-Odoi starting to deliver on his undoubted potential on a more consistent basis.
The England international winger was among the goals again during a Premier League outing on Saturday. His effort wrapped up a convincing 3-0 win for the Blues.
The goal was his second in succession after scoring in the FA Cup win against Nottingham Forest.
“For Callum to score in the six-yard box is far more exciting for me than for him to score from 35 yards, without a doubt. Because it means that he's prepared to run the extra bit to sprint in there.
“And that wasn't the only time he did it; he did it on one of the early chances we had in the first half. He was doing it, recovering, going higher up the pitch at the right times.
“And his overall performance was an absolute statement for Callum of what he needs to do.
“That was the real Hudson-Odoi and what he can be because there's obviously more to come. But I thought his goal was brilliant for him, and if he can carry on doing that, then it's a serious player we have in Callum.”
