Academy product Abraham started and finished the scoring as the visitors secured a 3-2 victory in East Anglia.<\/p>\n
Todd Cantwell and Teemu Pukki twice equalized for the hosts during a breathless 45 minutes after Mason Mount had restored Chelsea\u2019s advantage with his second of the season.<\/p>\n
But Chelsea were more dominant after the break and another smart finish from Abraham proved enough for Lampard to claim his first three points.<\/p>\n
He was the last manager to leave Carrow Road with a league win after his Derby side won a seven-goal thriller in December.<\/p>\n
This victory was nearly as exhilarating as Abraham stepped up to deliver the goods for a Chelsea team which was already without the injured N\u2019Golo Kante before Pedro suffered a hamstring issue in the warm-up.<\/p>\n
Despite those setbacks, Chelsea were ahead from their first attack, Cesar Azpilicueta getting forward on the overlap and crossing to Abraham, who finished with aplomb.<\/p>\n
The Canaries, despite having their feathers ruffled, were level just three minutes later as Cantwell exchanged passes with Pukki before tapping home the equalizer.<\/p>\n
The visitors kept control of the contest and duly re-established their lead with a little over 15 minutes on the clock, Mount showing great composure to tuck away his second goal of the season.<\/p>\n
Lampard\u2019s side could have taken control of the game soon after were it not for a fine save from Tim Krul, who reacted well to tip Andreas Christensen\u2019s diving header over his crossbar.<\/p>\n
With attack on top, it was little surprise that Norwich got themselves back level before half-time, with Pukki again on the score sheet.<\/p>\n
Cantwell\u2019s clever flick set Emi Buendia away and he rolled a perfect pass into the feet of Pukki, who converted from a tight angle, although Kepa Arrizabalaga should have done better in the Chelsea goal.<\/p>\n
A clever short free-kick routine almost had Norwich ahead for the first time, but Kepa pushed clear Buendia\u2019s shot before holding Grant Hanley\u2019s effort from the rebound.<\/p>\n
Chelsea were still enjoying more of the ball in dangerous areas but the sides went in level at the break.<\/p>\n
Lampard\u2019s men dominated after the restart, all but camped in the Norwich half without really crafting a clear-cut opening to regain the lead.<\/p>\n
They were denied a penalty just after the hour-mark, the video assistant referee siding with Martin Atkinson after he opted not to penalize Marco Stiepermann after a coming together with Azpilicueta.<\/p>\n
Chelsea would eventually find their way through soon after, Mateo Kovacic sliding a pass into Abraham, who fired past two defenders and into Krul\u2019s net, the Norwich goalkeeper clearly unhappy at his failure to keep it out.<\/p>\n
After fighting back in the first half, Norwich\u2019s energy appeared sapped and they could not muster a third equalizer of the afternoon to deny Lampard his first taste of victory.<\/p>\n
