By being on baby duties

Villa in the Championsh­ip last season before returning to Chelsea and becoming Lampard’s first-choice striker.

Mount spent last year with Lampard at Derby and the manager was pleased to see both his proteges on the scoresheet. “I think it’s the age-old story, fans like to see players that really feel the club,” he added.

“They are not necessaril­y local boys, but I think they enjoy seeing something because if you come through the academy here you should feel the club.”

Norwich, on the back of an impressive win over Newcastle last weekend, played their part.

Daniel Farke’s side had not lost a home league game since Lampard prevailed with Derby in December and Pukki continued his fine start to the season with an assist for Cantwell and his fifth goal in three games.

Ben Godfrey almost rescued a point when he headed against the crossbar, with Farke ruing the defending for Abraham’s winner. “We conceded early, but I knew the lads would react to a setback,” said the Norwich boss. “I can trust my players. For me, a draw at half-time was a fair result.

“They had spells, we had spells. In the second half for the first 15 they put pressure on us and were the better side. You have to expect this. Chelsea at this level will be able to dominate.” norwich city: Krul 6; Aarons 6, Hanley 7, Godfrey 7, Lewis 6; Leitner 6 (Mclean 81, 6), Trybull 6 (Vrancic
