Lampard Says Chelsea Performance Better Than Liverpool
Frank Lampard says he is happy with Chelsea’s performance against Liverpool on Sunday, insisting they were the better team despite losing 2-1.
Liverpool went 2-0 up within 30 minutes against the hosts, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Roberto Firmino finding the net at Stamford Bridge.
Before Firmino’s header, however, Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount had a goal disallowed for offside and the home side began to fight back in the second period, as N’Golo Kante fired past Adrian and Mount and Michy Batshuayi passed up chances to score.
But Lampard believes his team deserved more from the encounter and is confident they will accumulate more points if they maintain that level of performance.
He told Sky Sports: “Performance wise we were the better team. We had more energy in our game, character and spirit.
“That’s why the crowd applauded at the end. Let’s take this forward.”
