Chelsea boss Lampard hails Kepa for 'brilliant' Foster save

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard hailed goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga after victory at Watford.

At 2-1, the hosts almost equalised when Watford keeper Ben Foster's header deep in injury time was superbly saved by Kepa, who sparked celebrations among his team-mates with the last action of the match.

Lampard said, "It was a brilliant save and we got what we deserved. Sometimes you need your goalkeeper to produce moments like that - that's what they're there for. Sometimes it can be a quiet afternoon and it certainly was for him today so I'm pleased for him.

"It's great for a keeper's confidence when those moments come."
