Premier League: Chelsea West Ham; Lamps hails Mikel's efforts

Posted: 25 November 2013

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has credited his impressive performance at the weekend to the adequate defensive cover provided by Nigeria's John Mikel Obi.

Lampard scored twice as the Blues recorded a 3-0 win over his boyhood club, West Ham.
While Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho haa spoken glowingly about his attacking players like Oscar and Samuel Eto'o, the England international has singled out Mikel for praise.
"It was enjoyable, because from the first minute we were on it," Lampard told Chelsea TV.
"We haven’t done it well enough away from home this season and having lost some silly points in the last two games we were very up for it. It was a very complete performance, we caused them loads of problems.
"Obi in there is a great guarantee behind you. It certainly gives me a few more opportunities to get forward."
