Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has heaped praise on Christian Pulisic after Wednesday's 5-3 loss to Liverpool.

The American came off the bench in the second-half and flipped the game on its head, assisting and scoring to bring the scores to 4-3.

Having taken his season total to eight goals, Pulisic has left a strong impression on his manager.

Lampard said: "He's got huge quality. He couldn't play against United because of his injury.

"He's getting stronger and he's going to be a huge player for us."

And speaking on the game, Lampard added: "I can respect the quality of the game if you're a neutral, but when you play against Liverpool and their quality... until the first two goals I thought we were comfortable. We reacted and really contributed to the game. At 4-3 we looked like the one to get a goal.

"I thought we could draw the game because if you take out the isolated incidents of the goals... we weren't that far away tonight."
