Lampard: No reason for Chelsea to give up on title

Frank Lampard says Chelsea must not give up on the title after winning at Wolves.

The win lifted them back into the top four thanks to Arsenal's loss at Fulham, but Lampard conceded there is plenty of work to do as we seek a route back to the top of the Premier League table.

"I look at the table and I get the hump that we're not within a point or two of the lead," the 33-year-old told chelseafc.com following his 89th minute winner. "We have to make sure we react and with the players we've got here we have to be fighting for the league.

"It's a big gap now but you have to have that mindset. The minute you lose that you become a top-four team instead of a team challenging for the title.

"In my eyes we should be challenging for the top and the minute we don't set ourselves those targets we won't be the Chelsea that we've been."
