Chelsea secured a brilliant 2-0 home-win against the Premier League leaders Liverpool on Tuesday night to book their spot in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
Frank Lampard expressed his delight at Chelsea’s 2-0 win over Liverpool in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
The Blues secured a brilliant 2-0 home-win against the Premier League leaders on Tuesday night to book their spot in the quarter-finals of football’s oldest competition.
The Reds goalkeeper Adrian made a howler at Stamford Bridge to allow Willian give the west London club the lead 13 minutes into the match.
And Ross Barkley wrapped up the win with a wonder-strike in the second half as Jurgen Klopp's side got knocked out of the competition.
Following the win in west London last night, Lampard told BBC One: "I'm really proud. Liverpool are the best team in the league and what they are doing is incredible. So for us to put in a performance like that, the effort, the quality was something special. We know we've got a long way to go but you have to celebrate those moments."
On Chelsea's midfield prodigy Billy Gilmour's display on the night, the 41-year-old replied: "What an incredible performance for a young player. He was a calm head in that first five or 10 minutes. He's a throwback of a midfielder. Can you put your foot in? Yes. Can you make angles to play the passes? Yes. He's only slight in stature but he's huge in personality. He deserves people to talk about him after a performance like that."
When quizzed on recalling goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga into the starting line up, Lamaprd said: "I was really pleased for Kepa. It's not easy because all players want to play and a goalkeeper gets scrutinised more than any other position and he made some good saves. He's shown good character and he played well."
