Despite playing out to a goalless draw against Tottenham, Frank Lampard says he was pleased with his side’s performance.

Frank Lampard believes that his Chelsea side did enough to get all three points against Tottenham and he was pleased with their defensive approach in the game.

The Blues had to settle for a point at Stamford Bridge against Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham. They had a goal ruled out in the first half after Timo Werner’s brilliant finish came from an offside position.

There was very little that separated the sides throughout the game. Chelsea had the better chance of the second half, as Mason Mount’s long-range effort forced a good save out of Hugo Lloris.

Speaking after the game, Lampard says he was pleased with his side’s all-round performance in the game.

“It went as I sort of expected. I thought we’d have a lot of possession,” Lampard said as quoted by BBC.

🗣"I will tell you later on" 🤣

“We created enough to win the game. The clean sheet factor against a side set up to counter-attack – that was excellent. We didn’t give Kane or Son a sniff. Goalkeeper makes a great save from Mason Mount.”

“Oli Giroud gets his chance. He won us the game midweek and is the man you want in those positions so I can’t be too critical. We dominated the game possession-wise. This Tottenham team make it hard for you so the way we handled it was brilliant.”

Lampard continued on the result: “At the end of the season, it will all come together on if this was a good point or not. I am happy with the clean sheet but in actual game play, we should win it. The players did everything I asked from them but we didn’t get that last bit.”

“Another day, with the attacking players we have. Sometimes you need a bit of magic from your creative players. The handbrake was a tiny bit up but in a good way.”
