Frank Lampard hails Tomori as Rio Ferdinand says Chelsea defender was “perfect” against Lille

Frank Lampard hailed Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori as “outstanding” while Rio Ferdinand labelled his performance at Lille as “perfect”. Fikayo Tomori put in a brilliant performance in defence as Chelsea beat Lille 2-1 in the Champions League. Lampard said: "Tomori was outstanding all game. He made one mistake which thankfully Kepa retrieved. Tomori's individual performances and where he is going, he has to keep on with that. It was a really tough game for any defender there and I thought we defended well." Former Manchester United and England centre-back Ferdinand knows a thing or two about good defending. He said: "Huge talent. I think tactically Frank has got an A+ today because the pace on the counter attack from the Lille front men was there for all to see. That was the best defender on the pitch actually setting up the first goal. Everything he did today defensively I thought he was perfect. "His tenacity, his anticipation, his willingness to step out and make quick decisions to intercept. He notices the danger, he's running past people to get back to make an effort for his team. That's what you want to see from young players. The best bit is one-v-one. He's saying, 'Go on, you try and run past me.' That's what you want from your centre-half."
