Callum Hudson-Odoi scoring his first Premier League goal

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 into the box to finish off Cesar Azpilicueta's chipped ball, to the 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.

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