Chelsea boss, Frank Lampard has revealed that his side’s performance against Manchester City on Saturday recorded much positives to improve upon in the upcoming games.

He said that although it hurts lose yet playing a side a tensed City side was tough especially with their away form in the league.

"The fact that it hurts to lose any match, but even more when you're not used to it. In the league, and with our away form, we've been winning for a long time. 

"We've got to take the positives, and learn from the negatives. We need to look at that - but let's go again," he said.

Chelsea lost by 2-1 on Saturday evening kickoff after Kante opened the scores in the 21-minute after a run of show by the Blues. Kovacic lifted a ball forward into the path of Kante, who showed great strength to hold off Mendy and bundled the ball under Ederson's body for the opener.

 Kevin De Bruyne responded with an equalizer eight minutes later from a low deflected shot off Kurt Zouma before Riayd Mahrez’s pure quality equalizer gave the Citizens the lead.

The Algerian picked up the ball wide right, turned inside of Emerson who got beaten far too easily, but then slotted the ball just inside the far post and nutmegged Tomori in the process.

"It was a tough game, it felt like we went toe-to-toe in the main, and a moment of quality from Mahrez and a deflection for the first goal feels like the difference to me. There was a lot of detail in the game, but the amount of times we got into their third in either half, but didn't have that little bit of quality which we can have. Games like this can be won or lost in the boxes, and I think that happened,” he said.

"We're coming to close the gap. I don't want to shout it too loudly because football is day-to-day, we'll have to show that because it feels like a long time since we last lost in the league, to now go and get back on it straight away. 

"There were big parts of that game showing we're coming. We're three or four months in, we know things have changed, we know some of our players were in the Championship last season, we know there's a different feel to it. But if we keep working, we'll be coming," Lampard ended.
