Frank Lampard press conference after Chelsea's 1-1 draw with Leicester

In Frank Lampard's first home game in charge of Chelsea, the Blues played a 1-1 draw with Leicester City. Mason Mount gave the Blues the lead with his first competitive goal for the club, with the midfielder netting early on after dispossessing Leicester's Wilfred Ndidi, before coolly finishing into the bottom corner. "The first 25 minutes, we still had chances after Mason scored, that first patch is how we want to play and the rest of the game wasn't quite how we want to play. Credit to Leicester for that, they put us under pressure, we weren't good enough in possession after the first 25 minutes, which gifted them possession back. We gave them the feeling that because we didn't score the second that they were in the game. In the second half we left far too many spaces for them, they are a very good team on the counter-attack, they have got good individual players who can hurt you. That was the disappointing thing, we couldn't sustain the period in the early part of the game. I don't expect the 100mph energy for 90 minutes, but I do expect that when you rest you do keep possession of the ball better," Lampard told the press following the game. "It felt great, it is a special moment for me to come back to the club and manage them at Stamford Bridge, of course, it is the stuff of dreams. For me, it is a huge thing, but my focus today was on the match and trying to win. Thanks very much to the fans, I appreciate that, but I am here to do a job and here to try and win for the club and we can do better than we did today." Lampard spoke about Mount: "The epitome of his talent is the goal. Great off the ball and energy to close people down and then the quality to finish it. In those opening periods, he could have scored two more goals almost. He will get better and better as he's 20 years of age. That's the first of some big moments for Mason going forward. I'm delighted for him on that level and I know he will be slightly disappointed as he would have wanted that goal to be a part of a win. He will get better."
