Chelsea boss Lampard draws positives from Batshuayi goal

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard drew a positive from Michy Batshuayi's goal in their Carabao Cup defeat to Manchester United.

Batshuayi superbly netted his fifth goal of the season before Marcus Rashford's winner for United.

Lampard said, "The outstanding moment of the game from our point of view was Michy's goal in terms of individual endeavour, skill, strength, pace and finish.

"Michy has been really good for us this season with his attitude and professionalism in training.

"It's not easy when another striker is scoring and you're not getting involved much. Every time he's started in the cup games, every time he's come on, he's shown stuff."
