LONDON: Frank Lampard admitted Chelsea will need time to close the gap on Liverpool at the top of the Premier League after the champions laid down an early season marker with a 2-0 win on Sunday.
Lampard was able to name just two of his new signings, Timo Werner and Kai Havertz, in the starting line-up with Ben Chilwell and Hakim Ziyech injured and experienced centreback Thiago Silva lacking match fitness. A lack of defensive reinforcements was obvious in Lampard’s gameplan as the Chelsea sat back and tried to protect a backline that conceded 54 league goals last season in a cagey first half.
But Liverpool have been busy this week with Thiago Alcantara and Diogo Jota becoming their first major signings for two years. Liverpool’s second will only have confirmed the former England midfielder’s decision as Kepa’s casual pass was intercepted by Mane, who then turned the ball into an empty net.
