Lampard laments Chelsea sloppiness in win over Watford

Despite a 2-1 win for Chelsea against Watford that saw them equal their longest sequence of away victories manager Frank Lampard was still disappointed with a sloppy passage of play by his team.

After the Blues staked out a 2-0 lead after goals by Christian Pulisic and Tammy Abraham the Watford had them under their thumb at the end of the game and pulled one back thanks to a controversial penalty won and converted by Gerard Deulofeu.

It was only a wonder save by Kepa Arrizabalaga from opposite number Ben Foster as time ran out that saw Chelsea take all three points and, although he was keen to praise his goalkeeper and the rest of the team, Lampard didn’t try to hide his frustration at their lapse.
