DBasia.news – Frank Lampard praised Christian Pulisic’s performance after Chelsea’s 3-0 win over Watford to secure fourth place in the Premier League.
The United States player has performed brilliantly since the competition resumed last month and has been a big threat to the Hornets defense at Stamford Bridge.
Goals from Olivier Giroud, Willian and Ross Barkley has put the Blues back into the top four that were previously picked up by Manchester United who hours before won 5-2 over Bournemouth.
“They [Pulisic and Hazard] were able to get past their opponents and it’s fun to watch. Eden is doing it here and it’s sensational,” Lampard told Sky Sports when asked about the similarities of the two players.
“I don’t want to go in too deep in that comparison, but at the same time, I don’t want to play down Christian’s role. What he shows is natural ability, balance, speed in dribbling the ball.
“The next step for him is to be better in completion, more goals, more assists. But since the league resumed, he has shown that, and it is incredible.
“He has been injured this season but he’s a good player, a really good player and I’m happy for him.”
Chelsea will face Crystal Palace before being challenged by Sheffield United in the next EPL match.
