Frank Lampard has admitted there is “nothing wrong” with Chelsea’s fans dreaming of winning this season’s Premier League title – but insisted he will keep his own feet on the ground.
Chelsea climbed to the top of the table by flooring Leeds 3-1 on Saturday night with Olivier Giroud, Kurt Zouma and Christian Pulisic all on target in a comeback victory.
Tottenham and Liverpool can overhaul Chelsea again during Sunday’s fixtures but, with just one defeat from their opening 11 games – against the defending champions back in September, it has been a promising start for the Blues and their supporters.
Boss Marcelo Bielsa conceded his side had been deservedly beaten, admitting defensive shortcomings cost Leeds dearly in London.
“I thought the result was fair, and also I think what we lacked is that we failed to recover the ball in the initial phase of the game when Chelsea played out from the back,” said Bielsa.
“We failed to neutralise them at set-pieces and in the end that was an important factor in the result.”
