Chelsea Did Enough To Win, Lampard Insists After Tottenham Stalemate

Chelsea head coach Frank Lampard has insisted his team wanted to win the game from the onset following a 0-0 draw against London rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday.

The Blues winning streak came to an end at Stamford Bridge as they were kept at bay by a spirited and well-drilled Tottenham side.

Despite enjoying the lion’s share of possession, the hosts failed to translate it to goals and also passed up glorious opportunities during the second period.

Speaking to the media after the game, Lampard admitted he expected a Jose Mourinho side to sit deep and defend, and insists he was happy to keep a clean sheet against Spurs.

"It went as I sort of expected. I thought we'd have a lot of possession. We created enough to win the game. The clean sheet factor against a side set up to counter-attack - that was excellent. We didn't give Kane or Son a sniff. Goalkeeper makes a great save from Mason Mount,” the Englishman said.

"Oli Giroud got his chance. He won us the game midweek and is the man you want in those positions so I can't be too critical. We dominated the game possession wise. This Tottenham team make it hard for you so the way we handled it was brilliant.

"In the end of the season it will all come together on if this was a good point or not. I am happy with the clean sheet but in actual game play we should win it. The players did everything I asked from them but we didn't get that last bit.

"Another day, with the attacking players we have. Sometimes you need a bit of magic from your creative players. The handbrake was a tiny but up but in a good way."
