“Those are not the two missing points, they can count on Harvey Barnes’s chances when it was 2-2,” Lampard told TalkSport.
“I can talk about the opportunities we had in the first half. That’s a pretty fair result.”
“The two missing points are against Arsenal. We always want to win, but I am quite happy. It was a difficult match here,” continued the Chelsea legend.
Now the Premier League is entering winter break. After the winter break, Chelsea will host Manchester United in the continued 26th week of the Premier League at Stamford Bridge on 18 February 2020 at 3:00 a.m. Western Indonesian Time.
