Chelsea boss Lampard happy Gilmour won over Keane

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard was happy seeing Billy Gilmour win over Roy Keane earlier this season.

Gilmour made a full Premier League debut in the 4-0 rout of Everton and his performance had the usually hard to please Keane declaring it "world class".

“I had to put my cup of tea down to hear Roy say something nice!," Lampard told Sky Sports when asked about Keane's comments. “Roy Keane was a fantastic midfield player and he probably won't give credit unless it's due – and it certainly was due. And he's right, I heard the statements he made about Billy and I think he's spot on.

“Billy should be happy with that and if he can go and follow the ideas that someone like Roy Keane says when it comes to midfield play he won't go far wrong."
