Chelsea manager Lampard laments 'two points dropped' with Brighton draw

Frank Lampard wants to see more ruthlessness from his Chelsea side after they dropped two more points in the Premier League.

The Blues were begged back against Brighton on New Year's Day and had to settle for a share of the spoils.

Lampard hopes his side can kill off teams in the future by scoring more than one goal when they are on top.

"It was an incredible equaliser but it is two points dropped for us because in the first half, if we're ruthless then the game is out of sight," Lampard told reporters.

"That's not to say we had multiple chances but we had control, we had opportunities to play people in that could score and to make decisions around the box to score.

"We had to keep switching the ball, keep doing what we did in the first 20 minutes, but we came off that slightly and allowed them to feel they were still in the game. They're a good team so when they started to play a bit later in the game then they can cause you problems."
