Chelsea boss Frank Lampard insists there has been no need to speak to Hudson-Odoi in the wake of his controversial yellow card for Burnley. Blues forward was first awarded a penalty for going into the box during the 4-2 win at Turf Moor before being booked for simulation after the decision was overturned by VAR. Football fanatics from all over the world can buy Premier League Tickets online to enjoy its stunning performances.
Clarets boss Sean Dyche was extremely critical of the post-match incident calling it shambolic how people are just about all over the place while claiming it was worse because it complicated a young player and stating concern about the future of the game. However, responding to Dyche’s scathing comments, Lampard is an adamant 18-year-old England international Hudson-Odoi who did not dive.
“Nothing, I’ve said nothing. I did not feel the need to, “replied Lampard when asked what he said to Hudson-Odoi.”I asked him about the game, straight afterward, after my press, he said he got a touch.
“If that becomes a problem, you will start analyzing every bit of contact. Was that enough to put on (Burnley striker) Ashley Barnes on the floor or not? Was it enough for Callum to go down or not? That’s the game, those are the gray areas. It was nowhere near a clear cut issue. “
Lampard would like to see that change. Asked if wants referees to watch replays of contentious incidents, he replied yes. It’s part of VAR and I assume when it came to the Premier League that would be the case. I think we’re at where now from my point of view they have to.
Chelsea’s weekend win in the north-west secured a seventh successive victory in all competitions. Manchester United Stamford Bridge in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup Lampard’s reign began with a 4-0 thumping at Old Trafford in August.
“I’ve said nothing about that, it feels like a million miles away gone,” said Lampard. “I’m not disregarding it when you play against a top team like Manchester United with top players they can hurt you in moments and they did it to us four times in a game we performed pretty well in. I don’t think the context of that is going to be hugely relevant tomorrow night.”
