‘Immense’ Willian earns Lampard praise as Brazilian ‘leader’ inspires Chelsea to big win

The South American forward was not among the scorers as the Blues downed Southampton 4-1, but played an important role in a positive performance

Willian may not have found the target as Chelsea beat Southampton 4-1, but has been billed as a “leader” and “immense” by Blues boss Frank Lampard.

After a slow start to the season for those from Stamford Bridge, a new-look side is starting to hit its stride.

A visit to St Mary’s on Saturday delivered the latest example of that, with Lampard’s side running out comfortable winners to move into fifth spot in the Premier League table.
