Manchester City midfielder Frank Lampard was happy with his return to Chelsea for last night's 1-1 draw. Bar a few dissenting voices, Lampard was given a fine ovation and embarked on a lap of honour at the end - something he was denied when he left the club for New York City FC last May.
"There were more chances for City in the game, Chelsea had a big old game in midweek and the draw probably suits them in the long run," Lampard said.
"It was a solid game and Chelsea probably accepted a point in the end.
"This doesn't change anything. Chelsea will be happy to be five points clear, we're not stupid, we know what that lead is. But there are lots of points to play for."
On his own reception, he added: "The Chelsea fans showed complete class at the end. I enjoyed this."
