'Frank stands up for himself' - Chelsea boss Lampard backed by ex-team-mate after clashes with Klopp and Mourinho

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has been complimented for "standing up for himself" after recent touchline clashes with fellow managers Jurgen Klopp and Jose Mourinho.

Lampard's latest clash came in Chelsea's Carabao Cup match against Tottenham on Tuesday night, in which he and his former manager Mourinho had words on the touchline.

That followed a heated row with Liverpool boss Klopp during a Premier League match in July, an incident that Lampard later admitted he regretted.
