Lampard tells Chelsea not to dwell on Man City defeat: This is the absolute start

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard insists they won't dwell on defeat at Manchester City.

Lampard argues his young team are only at the beginning of their team building process.

After the 2-1 reverse, he said: "We were controlling the game, we were playing some great stuff and we felt in control but you can't be absolutely in control against Manchester City

"It was bad luck for their first goal, and absolute quality from Riyad Mahrez for the second and that changed the game.

"Maybe we were a bit slow with our movement at the back, I know we were giving them a good game but I am disappointed with the small details.

"If you look at City they are an example, and we're at the absolute start of that process. A few of our players were in the Championship, but we want more."
