London's "Chelsea" on Wednesday achieved their second victory in the UEFA Champions League, defeating Amsterdam's "Ajax" with a score of 1:0.
The only goal of the match was scored in the 86th minute by Michy Batshuayi, who had almost no opportunities to shine this season.
After the victory, "aristocrats" coach Frank Lampard was pleased with the team's performance and stated that his team had set a standard that they must adhere to.
"From now on we will have no more excuses. We have set our game standard and we must stick to it.
I am most pleased with the dedication of the players and the adherence to the game plan. We are moving in the right direction.
I am satisfied with every detail in our game. All the players worked properly in their positions, and the substitutes who came on after the change did their jobs excellently," Lampard said after the victory.
M. Batshuayi, who scored the winning goal, had another great opportunity to score, but he missed. However, Lampard was pleased with the performance of his striker.
"Michy's work in training and dedication is exactly what we expect. I understand that he missed a great chance before scoring the goal, but he didn't give up and later sent the ball into the net.
Whatever happened after that missed opportunity, I would still be proud of him. Pulisic's assist was also just as important as the goal itself," added the "Chelsea" coach.
