With both teams failing to find the winner in normal time, the game went to extra time where Liverpool took the lead in the 94th minute through Sadio Mane once again.<\/p>\n<p>But Chelsea would not go down without a fight and they got back on levelled terms through Jorginho\u2019s penalty after Tammy Abraham was upended in the box by Adrian.<\/p>\n<p>Jorginho\u2019s goal ensured the match went into a penalty shoot-out which Liverpool won after Abraham missed for Chelsea. The miss capped a miserable first two games for the 21-year-old who was also criticised for his performance in the Blues 4-0 loss to Manchester United last Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Lampard has thrown his backing behind the young striker, saying he will come back stronger. When asked about what he told Abraham after his miss, the former Manchester City star said: \u201cI told him not to worry and the fact that he is confident to take the fifth penalty. I have been there, I have missed penalties, anyone can, and what I want is the confidence of young players to stand up and do that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite missing the decisive penalty which saw Chelsea lost the Super Cup to Premier League rivals, Liverpool, Blues manager, Frank Lampard has refused to criticise Nigerian-born forward, Tammy Abraham.
