Chelsea legend Didier Drogba gets “goosebumps” watching back Tammy Abraham’s late winner for the Blues against Arsenal. Abraham bagged his first Premier League against one of Chelsea’s Big Six rivals to seal three points at Emirates Stadium.
One criticism thrown at the 22-year-old was his lack of impact in crunch games for the Blues but he was able to silence the doubters against Chelsea’s bitter rivals.
After Frank Lampard’s side had gone 1-0 down following a sloppy opening 30 minutes in the London derby on Sunday, a switch of formation allowed them to assert their dominance.
Jorginho’s equaliser in the 83rd minute teed up a grandstand finish and when Abraham broke at Arsenal’s back-tracking defence with the ball at his feet, only one outcome seemed likely.
The England forward slipped the ball to Willian, who took a heavy touch before pulling it back to Abraham, with a neat turn and shot burying the ball into the net.

Abraham sprinted towards the away corner and puffed his cheeks out while copying Drogba’s trademark arm-jerking celebration.
His Chelsea team-mates then slid in behind him, smothering Abraham in jubilation as he nodded his head at supporters.
And Drogba, who established himself as a club legend with 164 goals in 381 appearances alongside 12 major honours and often impressed against Arsenal, cannot get enough of the goal.
“I get goosebumps re playing this goal and the celebration after @tammyabraham,” Drogba tweeted the day after Abraham’s heroics.
