Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has hailed Edouard Mendy’s performance in the goalless draw against Manchester United on Saturday.
The Senegalese international produced a fine save late on to stop a Marcus Rashford shot.
Asked if he was pleased with Mendy’s performance against Manchester United, Lampard said: “Yes his performance was very good. You rely on your goalkeepers in those moments in a tight game, not full of many chances.
“Rashford’s first chance was a mistake from us, the one at the end was a moment of quality from him. He showed us what he is there for.
“We brought him in for his quality. He showed great composure in the games he’s played already and with the saves today in a tight you rely on them moments.”
