Chelsea manager Frank Lampard last night (Tuesday) deepened the pit he is in when he and his trainees surrendered 2-0 to Leicester and dropped to 8th place in the Premier League table.

Lampard admitted at the end that Leicester, who rose to the top of the table, was simply the better team and did not leave the Blues a chance, for them it was the fifth loss in the last eight games.

"We were beaten by the better team, they were sharper than us, wanted more than us and they generally looked a lot better," Lampard said after the game.

"I am concerned about the decline in our capacity, the way we have gotten into the situation we are in, this is not the place we want to be," he added.

He further told Lampard: "This is a time when we are not good but other clubs have been in this situation as well. All we can think about is going through the period, working hard."

According to reports in the English media, the leading candidate to replace Lampard on the lines at Stamford Bridge is the coach of the Ukrainian national team and the greatest player of all time, Andrei Shevchenko, who also played for Chelsea during his career. Although Shevchenko would like to continue his project in his homeland But it has been argued that it will be difficult for him to say no to Roman Abramovich and the extent to which it will offer him the coveted role.

By the way, on the Leicester side, there were big celebrations.

Fox Madison, the fox contact, who was chosen as the man of the match, summed up his evening and that of his friends and said: "It's nice that we are in first place, although it probably won't last more than 24 hours but psychologically it's not bad. We worked very hard and it's a great achievement for us. "I'm not at all sure you will see a team that plays better than us this season. I think we shone today and the credit should go to the coach as well."
