Correct the defeat suffered to Manchester United - Lampard tells Chelsea players

Frank Lampard Frank Lampard

Chelsea manager, Frank Lampard has advised his players to correct the defeat they suffered at the hands of Manchester United at the beginning of the season.

Manchester United defeated Chelsea 4-0 in their first game of the English Premier League this season. Both sides will now face each other again at Stamford Bridge on Monday.

“I didn’t see Chelsea’s 4-0 defeat to Man United at Old Trafford earlier this season as a real influential moment,” Lampard was quoted by Chelsea’s official website as saying.

“It did not feel nice to lose with such a scoreline on that day.

“It was only a surprise considering our performances against them, we had more possession, shots, and even hit the woodwork twice.

“It would be great for us to correct it tonight, but at the same time, I did not take it as a huge upsetting thing.

“Our two performances against Man United and Liverpool earlier in the season shows that we could achieve this term.”
