Chelsea’s Lampard receives praise from Ancelotti

Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti heaped praise on midfielder Frank Lampard after a two-goal haul in the 3-0 win over Birmingham on Wednesday.

The England international scored just after the half-hour mark and also on the stroke of full-time and his performance did not go unnoticed by Ancelotti.

"We use all the pitch to attack and so Frank is able to run into the box to score. I think he's the best running midfielder in the world. He has this fantastic quality to time his run into the box,” he said.
