Chelsea caretaker boss Lampard happy for O'Neil and Solanke at Bournemouth

Chelsea caretaker boss Frank Lampard is happy for Gary O'Neil over his success with Bournemouth.

Lampard played for Bournemouth as a young player.

Ahead of Saturday's meeting, he said: "He's (O'Neil) done a great job.

"Full credit to him. I don't know the details. What he's created is a team with high energy and high intensity. He's getting the credit he rightfully deserves."

Lampard also is happy seeing former Chelsea striker Dominic Solake proving his quality with the Cherries.

He added: "I remember training with him. Clearly a high talent. I speak with the coaches at the academy a lot and they have a high regard of him. He's still young, it's good to see him performing so well. I'm pleased for him on an individual note because he has his origins here at the club."
