Lampard's reaction

First up, the manager reveals that he broken his hand during the celebrations! “It was an amazing night! There was spirit and togetherness. It wasn’t a need for quality, it was all about spirit. Some players really stood up tonight. Seamus Coleman led by example.”

About the red card, he complains about the lack of consistency and says he doesn’t think there was a clear and obvious error to justify the referee turning the original yellow into a red. “No one at the minute has the balls to say ‘you know what, I stick by my decision’.”

On the rare clean sheet, he explains it was down to “By grit, defenders defending and the team understanding when we can win the ball higher.”
