London's "Chelsea" did not resist at home on Sunday against the "Liverpool" team and suffered their first defeat of the season in the Premier League. The "Aristocrats" surrendered after Andreas Christensen was sent off for the last ditch foul at the end of the first half. Despite the loss, "Chelsea" coach Frank Lampard was pleased with his team's performance after the match. "I was very pleased with our defensive play in the first half, but we lacked composure in possession. However, we had a few opportunities on the counter-attack. I was glad that we did not allow the opponents to create many dangerous opportunities in the first half. After the first half, I planned to tell my players to be more aggressive in attacking, but Christensen's red card changed everything fundamentally. It was a card that the referee could have shown, but chose not to. Initially, a yellow card was shown, so in my opinion, in order to change the decision, the referee had to be absolutely certain that the foul was worthy of a sending off. I'm not sure if that was the case, but I'm not going to complain. I'm disappointed with the dropped points. However, I am much more satisfied with the performance than after the victory against "Brighton". In those matches, we earned three points, but we didn't play very well," - Lampard spoke after the loss.
