Frank Lampard believes Chelsea need to become "killers" in attack in order to build on an overdue victory and begin bridging the sizeable gap to the Premier League's leading clubs.
The mid-table Blues ended a nine-match winless run on Saturday, including six successive defeats since Lampard was reappointed, by beating Bournemouth 3-1.
Conor Gallagher headed the visitors in front at Vitality Stadium but, after Matias Vina's leveller, they were largely toothless going forward until late finishes from Benoit Badiashile and Joao Felix halted the prolonged slump.
While a top-half finish is the extent of Chelsea's potential this season, they will hope to be challenging for Champions League qualification at the very least next term.
