Frank Lampard has paid tribute to a 'big running team' in Newcastle United - who have the 'intensity and endurance' that the Chelsea side he is leaving behind lack.
Lampard oversaw a 1-1 draw against Newcastle at Stamford Bridge in the Chelsea interim boss' final game in charge on the last day of the season. It was a rare point for Lampard, who showed his respect for fourth-placed Newcastle before a ball was even kicked on Sunday.
The Chelsea legend was on the field to present some end of season awards to his side just as Newcastle players finished their warm-up and made their way off the pitch. Lampard greeted Anthony Gordon, who, of course, he worked with at Everton, and the former England star also made a point of shaking the hand of Bruno Guimaraes away from the cameras.
