Like a child keeping away a knife after it has cut its finger, Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has identified what they should not have allowed to happen during the EPL match they lost to Wolves on Tuesday.

The latter were down by a goal before they bounced back to beat Chelsea 2-1.

Reflecting on the match and its aftermath, Lampard said, among other errors, his boys should not have given room to the counter attack that gave Wolves glory.

AFP quoted him as saying, “Performance is what gives you results. We were playing very well, on a long unbeaten run and then maybe the lads think ‘we’re playing well’. The minute you think you’re playing well, things like this can happen,” said a visibly irked Lampard after Pedro Neto broke clear to win the game in the 95th minute.

“If you’re not playing well which we weren’t tonight, hang on to the 1-0. Play, control the game, and don’t allow counter attacks like we did.”
