Chelsea boss Lampard: We should've won by more

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard felt they should've beaten Tottenham by more after their 2-1 win on Saturday.

After watching goals from Olivier Giroud and Marcos Alonso secure a 2-1 victory over Tottenham at Stamford Bridge, Lampard indicated that the margin of victory ought to have been greater given how well his side played against the team one place and one point below them prior to kick-off.

"There's slight disappointment at their goal, which makes the result look slightly different and it gave us a nervous few minutes but the performance levels of the team and attitude of the team, I can't ask for any more," said the boss afterwards.

"It's been a tough period for us at home. The last couple of days have been spent for me and for the lads finding the reasons why because we can't keep saying we're playing well and then lose games. A lot of it for me was mentality in both boxes, focus in every moment of the game, but the players gave me everything today."
