Chelsea manager Frank Lampard did not want to dwell on the goals his side conceded against Liverpool.

The Blues knew a draw would have secured a top four finish, but were beaten 5-3 at Anfield.

They did create some excellent moments, but were unable to keep it tight at the back.

Now they must get a point against Wolves on the last day, or risk finishing fifth.

Lampard told the club website after the game: "I would not talk about individuals in a game where we have conceded those goals.

"Some were real quality Liverpool finishes, particularly the free-kick.

"There were some collective and individual errors for the goals. What we did do was contribute to a really good game.

"At 4-3 it felt like we may get back in the game. I felt it throughout. We know where we are at.

"We know if we make mistakes like that against a team of the quality of Liverpool then this is what can happen but there were a lot of good things in the game so I certainly don't want to get into individual conversations about players because we have two big domestic games to play and it is important we go in together, as players, fans, everybody trying to finish the season how we want.

"I don't want to dwell on how many goals we have conceded, I want to concentrate on where we are at. We have a game to go and we want to win that game to get in the top four.

"Do we want to improve in terms of how we defend? Of course we want to improve. That is part of the process but now let's be very positive about the game that is in front of us."
