Chelsea boss Frank Lampard admits Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's tactics played into his hands after their FA Cup semifinal victory over Manchester United.

The United manager sprung a surprise with his team selection and then changed his system during the game.

Lampard revealed: "I can't ask for anything more than that - maybe a few more goals which is surprising when you play against a team of their quality.

"We played with a system that we haven't played with in a while and I was surprised that they matched us up before (in the Carabao Cup and league meetings in October and February respectively).

"But in the early parts of the game I thought we were on top but when they changed the system I think we played even better. We did everything that I asked of them.

"I'm very proud of the performance."
