Derby County troubled Chelsea throughout the League Cup tie last night, with Frank Lampard’s side impressing.
Gary Lineker has praised Derby County’s display against Chelsea last night.
Derby may have came off the pitch at Stamford Bridge without the victory, but they still managed to do themselves a lot of credit.
The Rams were at their free flowing best at Stamford Bridge, and managed to cause Chelsea plenty of problems.
And Lineker was very impressed by what he saw from Frank Lampard’s side.
Derby fell behind three times during the contest, but Chelsea just couldn’t shake them off.
