Chelsea manager, Frank Lampard, has admitted Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s tactics played into his hands, following their 3-1 win in the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United.

Eric Bailly and Brandon Williams also came into the defence, while Fred started ahead of Paul Pogba.

“We played with a system that we haven’t played within a while and I was surprised that they matched us up before (in the Carabao Cup and league meetings in October and February respectively).
