BRIGHTON, England, Sept 14 (Reuters) - Chelsea manager Frank Lampard heaped praise on defender Reece James and said he was happy with the debuts of Germany forwards Timo Werner and Kai Havertz after a 3-1 win at Brighton & Hove Albion on Monday. “It had me off my seat and we needed it, we weren’t at our best in that period,” Lampard told Sky Sports. “Everything I have seen from him is spot on and his quality will come through. He’s hugely talented.”Lampard pointed out that despite the wealth of their attacking talent, Chelsea were still a work in progress and unlikely to challenge champions Liverpool for the title. “We definitely want to close that gap to Liverpool, we have to have intentions to be up there even though it is a big ask to win it.
