Frank Lampard gives his verdict on Billy Gilmour after Chelsea teenager shines against Liverpool

Frank Lampard says Billy Gilmour is “huge in talent” after the midfielder excelled in the FA Cup win over Liverpool. Chelsea beat Liverpool 2-0 and the 18-year-old rightly named man of the match in just his second Blues start this term. Lampard insists the fresh-faced youngster is already ready for the challenge. "I've got absolute trust in Billy," said Lampard. “I remember when he first came in against Sheffield United, we drew the game and people questioned this kid who looks like a 15-year-old. I remember someone individually saying that to me. "But I've no problem with him because if he's small in stature he's huge in personality, and also huge in talent. And for me, for a midfield player, I have lots of questions. "Do you want to receive the ball in all positions, in all moments? Yes, he does. Do you want to make angles, can you pick the right pass? Yes, he generally does. Will you put your foot in? Yes, he does. He does all the right things, and he's humble. "And all his family were here tonight, I think his nan and granddad were down from Scotland. And what a performance; not just as a youngster coming into the team, that's one level - he performed like a top-class player going up against top-class players. So it was a great performance."
