Chelsea beat Bournemouth 3-1 in the 2022-2023 Premier League, Saturday, May 6 2023. The victory was welcomed by Chelsea coach Frank Lampard.
The British tactician praised his players, who appeared consistent throughout the match. Frank Lampard is also increasingly convinced that Chelsea can recover from minor results in the last few matches.
“Today is a small step forward. I think we can control the game, “Lampard quoted from Football London, Sunday (7/5/2023).
“Bournemouth will always give you problems here (at home). They’re a good team. You never feel safe at 1-1 but I think we controlled it a lot.”
Yes, Chelsea managed to silence Bournemouth with a score of 3-1. Three Chelsea goals were scored by Conor Gallagher (9′), Benoit Badiashile (82′) and Joao Felix (86′).
While Bournemouth scored a goal via Matias Vina (21′). The Blues (Chelsea’s nickname) had difficulty dismantling Bournemouth’s defence in the second half, before Benoit Badiashile and Joao Felix broke the deadlock.
Although satisfied with the victory, Lampard still provides important notes for his players. According to him, the Chelsea players wasted too many opportunities.
He also considered that Joao Felix et al seemed confused by the final settlement. Because of that, he wants his men to be more fierce in the remaining 2022-2023 Premier League matches.
“We ran a lot in their (penalty) box in the first half. Currently, we are in good development. It’s hard to talk about the current standings. But you saw a good individual performance today and it’s a step in a positive direction.”
This victory was enough to bring The Blues (Chelsea’s nickname) up to 11th place in the 2022-2023 Premier League standings. Now the Blues have pocketed 42 points, still three points adrift of Fulham in 10th place.
