Frank Lampard beams at 'big talent' Conor Gallagher as he heaps praise on the stand-in Chelsea captain for wanting to 'raise standards' within Mauricio Pochettino's team

Frank Lampard heaped praised on Conor Gallagher's 'amazing character' after captaining Chelsea to a second consecutive victory on Monday evening.

The Blues struck twice in two minutes at Craven Cottage as Mykhailo Mudryk scored his first goal of the season and Armando Broja netted shortly after on his return from a long-term injury.

Lampard worked with Gallagher during his last Stamford Bridge management spell in what was a difficult period for the club last season, but admitted he is delighted to see the England international starring under Mauricio Pochettino.
