Frank Lampard believes Carney Chukwuemeka and Noni Madueke both performed well for Chelsea against Manchester United yesterday.
Chelsea were defeated 4-1 on Thursday night in their penultimate Premier League game of the season, highlighting the club’s terrible season.

At Old Trafford, the Blues conceded four goals in a row before Joao Felix struck a late consolation for the visitors.
However, caretaker manager Lampard found a few positives in the team’s latest result.
Carney Chukwuemeka and Noni Madueke, who both started last night, were among the Blues’ youthful players.
“Some younger players put in good performances today in the group.” Carney played effectively in the midfield, in my opinion. Noni is also growing,” Lampard told BBC Sport.
Chukwuemeka, 19, joined the Blues midfield this week and seemed right at home.
Last night, the box-to-box midfielder displayed some brilliant individual moments on and off the ball, demonstrating why fans have been pleading for more opportunities for him.
up the right wing, Madueke put up another dynamic and thrilling performance.

The 21-year-old forward struggled to get his final ball away at Manchester United, but his intent and skill should pique the interest of incoming manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Lampard has previously talked well about Madueke since his return to the manager’s dugout, so it’s encouraging to see some positives amid this dismal run of losses.
We hope that both Chukwuemeka and Madueke start against Newcastle United on Sunday!
