Chelsea manager Frank Lampard sings Tariq Lamptey praises in Arsenal victory

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has eulogized the cameo performance of Tariq Lamptey in the 2-1 win against Arsenal on Sunday.

The 19-year-old marked his Chelsea debut as a second half substitute as they rallied to beat Arsenal 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium.

Lampard expressed his joy in the world of the budding right-back and hailed the impact he had in the game.

"Tariq Lamptey is a credit to Jody Morris and Joe Edwards because when we sat and analysed the last two days and we knew Cesar Azpilicueta had a small injury and Reece James is injured then we are looking at options for a right-back or right wing-back, "said Lampard.

"They said believe in him, trust in him, because they did and I listened to that. ‘We felt it was the right time to bring him into the game and he was a catalyst because we were getting down the sides and he gave us a little bit more of an edge. ‘He has pace, a low centre of gravity and can go by people.”
