Chelsea boss Lampard happy with 'no-nonsense' victory over Watford

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard felt they delivered a professional performance for their victory over Watford.

The Blues defeated the Hornets 3-0 at Stamford Bridge with an assured and confident performance.

"I'm pleased with the team performance," said Lampard. "It was solid, very strong defensively as well. We knew there'd be some longer balls, we knew set-pieces would be an issue, but we dealt with them well.

"I think every game's going to be pressure now. At West Ham there was pressure because we knew we could go third. It's a different kind of pressure but it's still the same. It's how you focus on the game and the job in hand, we cannot get too caught up with what everyone else does at the moment and we did that well.

"There was no nonsense, the mentality was good, we started bright and carried on and got the small details of the game right at both ends of the pitch, which I was pleased with."
