London's "Chelsea" did not start the new year very successfully. Frank Lampard's players played a 1:1 draw in their first match of 2020 against "Brighton".
The "Aristocrats" took the lead after the 10th minute with a goal by Cesar Azpilicueta, but Alireza Jahanbakhsh equalized the score with a stunning strike in the 84th minute.
After the match, "Chelsea" manager F. Lampard was not satisfied with his team's performance and stated that they were lucky to avoid defeat.
"I am frustrated for several reasons. In the first half, we played well and could have secured the victory, but we lacked composure. We scored a goal and controlled the game, but we couldn't finish our work.
We allowed the opponents to stay in the game. They scored a fantastic goal, but we were lucky to avoid defeat. At the end of the match, "Brighton" was the better team," Lampard said in an interview with "BT Sport".
