Lampard bemoans Chelsea's lack of 'killer instinct' in Newcastle defeat

The Blues were made to pay for a lack of quality in the final third on Saturday with their manager adamant those shortcomings need to be addressed

Frank Lampard insists Chelsea cannot do more than they already are doing in training to improve their finishing and has urged his team to find a "killer instinct" in front of goal.

Chelsea failed to make a dominant display count as Isaac Hayden's last-gasp header handed Newcastle United a 1-0 win in Saturday's Premier League encounter at St James' Park.

While Joelinton had earlier hit the bar for the home side, Tammy Abraham spurned two glorious chances, while Willian had also failed to take a good opportunity.
