Frank Lampard said he felt Chelsea matched Manchester City for large spells of the game despite their 2-1 defeat.

N’Golo Kante put the visitors ahead but Kevin De Bruyne equalised with a deflected effort before Riyad Mahrez scored what turned out to be the winner.

Chelsea boss Lampard said: “I wanted to come here and be brave – to compete, be brave on the ball and brave off the ball.

“I thought in the first half you saw all of that. At 1-0 we had relative control of the game. [phone]

“I don’t think you could come away from that game and say anything other than that there were two really strong teams going against each other.

“One wins it because of a deflected goal and then a real moment of quality from Mahrez. The rest was pretty much in the balance.”
