Chelsea manager Frank Lampard was most pleased with an overdue European clean sheet as his team drew 0-0 with Sevilla in their 2020/21 Champions League opener on Tuesday night, with the Blues’ failure to score trumped by their success in keeping the ball out of their own net.
Having conceded more than any other club in the top half of the Premier League last season, Chelsea’s defensive weaknesses have been much talked about. This was only their third clean sheet of the season across eight games in all competitions and fist in Europe for a whole year.
