Frank Lampard reacts Chelsea loss to Tottenham and explains why Timo Werner didn't take the shootout

The manager also spoke about Timo Werner's issue that prevented him from taking a penalty in the shootout.

"You get to penalties and anything can happen at that stage. You want to stay in these competitions of course, but there were some really good bits in our performance," Frank Lampard told Sky Sports after the Spurs defeat.

"The first half was as dominant as you can get in terms of possession. You want to create more chances, yes, but Tottenham was out of of the game. In the second half, they messed our game up a bit, but with the control, we had before then we wanted to score more goals or that can happen.

"When teams go long and miss your press and turn you around the other way it's not easy to get the fluidity and rhythm going. It was a clear change of tactic from them, and it's something we need to deal better with.

"We looked tired at the end which was understandable given where we are at. Timo Werner had some cramping at the end so he didn't take a penalty."

Chelsea are knocked out of the Carabao Cup after losing to Spurs on penalties. Mason Mount was the only player to miss a penalty in the shootout with the last kick of the game.
