Lampard asks for Chelsea fight after smash and grab United defeatManchester United captain Harry Maguire scored his first league for the club in the Chelsea victory. LONDON: Chelsea manager Frank Lampard told his side the "fight starts now" for a place in the Champions League next season after suffering a 2-0 smash and grab defeat at the hands of Manchester United on Monday. Fernandes was unable to make much of an impact from open play in his second United appearance since a 47 million pound move from Sporting Lisbon. Lampard had seen enough from Batshuayi and handed Olivier Giroud a rare appearance off the bench for the final quarter. The French striker thought he had given Chelsea a lifeline with a near post header, but was ruled offside after a VAR review.
