Conor Gallagher has revealed what tactical tweaks Frank Lampard made to ensure Chelsea that secured three points against Bournemouth. The 23-year-old midfielder played a pivotal role in the Blues' 3-1 win over the Cherries at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday afternoon, netting the opener with a well-placed header.
The west Londoners headed into the clash without a win in nine games, while Lampard had lost each of his previous six games as caretaker manager. With Chelsea in desperate need of a win, Gallagher says that the 44-year-old encouraged the players to be more ambitious going forward.
In an interview with the club's official website after the game, the Cobham graduate said: "It felt a lot better. I think everyone seemed a bit more confident in what we were doing and it definitely worked.
