Lampard blames one Chelsea player for draw against Arsenal

The draw with Arsenal left Frank Lampard worried about how his boys can’t hold on to the last minutes to claim the 3 points at the bridge.

Chelsea had gone up through a Jorginho penalty goal in the 28th minute. However, Gabriel Martinelli scored from a counter to level the scores after the hour mark.

A late Cesar Azpilicueta goal in the 84th minute seemed to have won the game for the Blues, but Arsenal equalised through Hector Bellerin three minutes later to seal a 2-2 draw.

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard was critical of the team’s performance in the draw and revealed that some players didn’t do their job well.

Lampard said in his post match reaction: “You let teams stay in the game it becomes really tough, and both the goals I didn’t like. If we’re going to get to where we want to be, and we’re in the process, we’ve got to stop that stuff, cos we can’t get there like that.

“It’s not the slip from Ngolo, that can happen, it’s the fact they get away at the edge of our box. That’s a moment sleeping. People should know their jobs. And then the last goal, so easy. It’s a goal you see every day over the park, a right back who moves it slowly onto his left foot and rolls it into the far corner. That can’t happen.”

Lampard will particularly be unimpressed with Emerson Palmieri who let Bellerin cut in and shoot with his stronger foot.
