Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup paid tribute to Frank Lampard after he scored in Chelsea's 2-0 win yesterday.

Laudrup, formerly of Real Madrid and Barcelona, had nothing but admiration for the midfielder.

"When you have quality, you will always have it," the Dane said.

"The thing is, even if we don't want to admit it, we all get older. "Sometimes the pace is not the same, you can't do exactly the same things, but the quality is always there.

"We know Frank Lampard, the quality he has. Always coming there, from the second line into the box, so difficult to mark. He's scored so many goals."
