Lampard insists Chelsea were better than Liverpool

Frank Lampard was happy with Chelsea's performance in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Liverpool.

Liverpool went 2-0 up within 30 minutes against the hosts, thanks to goals from Trent Alexander-Arnold and Roberto Firmino.

N'Golo Kante struck back late in the second half but it wasn't enough for Chelsea to rescue a point.

He told Sky Sports:"Performance wise we were the better team. We had more energy in our game, character and spirit.

"That's why the crowd applauded at the end. Let's take this forward."

The Blues did have a goal disallowed by VAR due to an offside, which Lampard was happy to accept after the game.

"I like to think we might get a couple in our favour, but you can see Mason is a tiny bit offside," he added.

"We have to get on with it. It is a sad thing for the celebration and the moment but if we are looking for correct decisions that is where we are at. It changes the atmosphere in the crowd, on the pitch. We are slightly deflated and they get a boost. We deserved to be level at that point."
