First-class Barkley is dedicated to the Chelsea cause and there's more to come, says Lampard

The Blues boss praised his midfielder who is playing more than ever at Stamford Bridge after an indifferent early spell at the club

Ross Barkley has cemented his place in Frank Lampard's thoughts and is rewarding Chelsea and his manager with goals and assists, after notching both in the 3-0 win over Watford on Saturday night.

The 26-year-old set up Olivier Giroud's opening goal and then rounded off the scoring by hitting a left-footed shot past Ben Foster at the near post to see his side reclaim fourth spot, after Manchester United jumped over them earlier in the day.
