'It wouldn't be fair to isolate Marcos': Frank Lampard hits back at Gary Neville's scathing attack on Alonso after he claimed defender 'cost Chelsea the game' against West Ham as Blues boss insists 'it's easy to comment from afar'

Frank Lampard has defended Marcos Alonso after the Spaniard failed to track back in the build-up to West Ham's late winner on Wednesday night.

Gary Neville slammed the full-back for his woeful defending and claimed that he had 'cost Chelsea the game' after allowing Andriy Yarmolenko to score in stoppage time.

However, Lampard hit back at Neville, claiming it is 'easy to comment from afar' when asked about the Hammers' winning goal in his Friday press conference.

'Full-backs have a responsibility to do both,' Lampard said.
