Tammy Abraham insists Chelsea will play "beautiful football" at Stamford Bridge for the rest of the season after finally ending their frustrating run on home turf.

Frank Lampard's side suffered successive Premier League home defeats against Bournemouth and Southampton before beating Burnley 3-0 on Saturday.

Abraham notched his 13th league goal of the season to put Chelsea two up against the Clarets in a dominant display by the hosts.

It was a welcome result for Chelsea in front of their own fans after several disappointments in west London this term.

Lampard had questioned whether Chelsea had the "balls" to break down defensive opponents, but Abraham says the way they ripped apart Burnley proved they can be entertaining and successful.

"We do have to do that. The fans want to come and watch beautiful football and recently in our home games we haven't been giving them that," Abraham said when asked if Chelsea felt a responsibility to excite their fans.

"You could see that we played beautifully against Burnley though and the fans were behind us.

"I think we had been coming to Stamford Bridge recently and it was just a bit too slow. Against Burnley we showed that we started sharp and it continued throughout the game."
