Frank Lampard's side won for just the second time in 7 league games. FMTNews Chelsea
Chelsea’s 18-year-old midfielder Billy Gilmour made his first Premier League start .
Fourth-placed Chelsea are in pole position to qualify for the Champions League with nine games to play.Aware that inconsistency has been the Achilles heel of his promising young team, Lampard said: “We can’t get ahead of ourselves. I’m experienced enough to know we go to Aston Villa next week, they are fighting for their lives and we have to replicate this performance.
While Lampard struck a cautious note about Chelsea’s Champions League ambitions, the Blues boss was quick to praise his players for delivering their biggest league win of the season. “It’s encouraging. You will always need your squad. We have a lot of injuries. The only way to tackle that is to work hard, play with energy and trust either other.Too often this term, Chelsea have dominated possession without killing off defensive opponents at Stamford Bridge.
“In the position where he plays, receiving the ball under pressure, he has to show balls. He’s done that, then when he played further up the field later in the game, he immediately took that on as well,” Lampard said. “It is not difficult to analyse this game. It is the first game when we did not compete. We have to learn from this.”
