Chelsea boss Frank Lampard admits Hakim Ziyech surprise but sends title warning to players

“It’s something we have to get consistently better at. Everybody expected it to come on day one of the season but it doesn’t. We saw a lot of it today against a difficult team. Great signs so let’s keep going.”

And despite sitting just a point off top spot, Lampard is wary of not getting carried away in terms of a potential title charge.

He continued: “We are third. Now we are seeing some of the work.

“Some of the work today was really encouraging for me to see those signs. I am the first to keep my feet on the ground. Every game is challenging.
