Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana admits he's a fan of Chelsea boss Frank Lampard.

Speaking after the 4-4 draw at Stamford Bridge, the Cameroonian had positive things to say about the Chelsea head coach.

"I think he is doing really well. They are a good team and he is trying to play with young players. You see how fast they are. Especially in Amsterdam, the game was very tough for us," said the 23-year-old.

"I think Lampard is doing really well. I am not really surprised [about their comeback]. I think for us, the important thing is us and we just tried to look at ourselves."

While disappointed with the result, Onana felt the Dutch club had done themselves proud with their performance at the Bridge.

"I think we are disappointed but, when you see the bigger picture, it is good to leave with a point here," he added.

"It was not easy. It is not easy at all. We fought to the end. We didn't lose. It was really important for us not to lose. We did it and I am really proud of the guys.

"I think the way we fought together, it is not easy to run up and down with nine men. My team-mates were hard workers.

"Even if we are playing with seven men then we will try and play our football because if we play their game, then it will be easier for them because they are more physical and stronger than us. So for us, it is more important to keep possession and to try to play but with nine it is not easy."
