Chelsea boss Lampard: Best home performance of season

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard felt their 4-0 defeat of Everton was their best home performance of the season.

The 4-0 scoreline against the Toffees did not flatter Chelsea, and there were top-class contributions throughout the team, from young players and the senior players alike.

"At home yes, because of the goals and the clean sheet," said Lampard.

"It is an easy one to analyse on that front but in terms of performance, we have been close to that a lot at Stamford Bridge and I have then sat here and mulled over a 1-0 defeat because we have played some really good stuff at times here, with energy, and we haven't got the last bit which is the unpredictable bit, the goals that make the performance more comfortable.

"Today we had that. We have reached levels but today it all came together, the finishing, the energy in the team, the speed of pass, the getting after the ball and winning it back, and that is a nice little template. There is a lot of work to be done and it is even better to say that after a good performance because we need to keep our feet on the ground, but today we saw some really good stuff."
