'I would have been sent to Siberia if I finished fourth' - Lampard's Chelsea benefit from lower expectations, says Grant

Avram Grant joked he would have been "sent to Siberia" by Roman Abramovich had he led Chelsea to a fourth-placed finish, but the former Blues boss is thrilled for Frank Lampard.

Chelsea's 2-0 victory over Wolves on the final day of the season ensured Lampard's side will be playing in the Champions League next term.

The Blues now have the FA Cup final against Arsenal to focus on before they face Bayern Munich in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie, though the Bundesliga winners hold a 3-0 aggregate lead.
