'It's great to score a hat trick and win so comfortably. Luton are a good side,' Abraham told the BBC.
'It's always nice to get a win, hopefully we can build off that form now... hopefully we can build on the confidence from here.'

Kickoff was delayed due to the ground staff clearing the heavy snow of the pitch.
Chelsea opened the scoring after 11 minutes when Abraham converted Werner's low cross. Luton were furious because there appeared to be two balls on the pitch in the build up to the goal but the officials allowed play to continue.
