Frank Lampard has urged his Chelsea players to embrace their setback against Everton last weekend.

The Blues saw their 13-match unbeaten streak snapped by a 1-0 defeat at Goodison Park on Saturday.

With a game against Wolves on Tuesday, Lampard says his players must learn to bounce back quickly if they want to remain in the titler race.

"The Premier League is unforgiving. You saw that with different results over the weekend. We weren't at our top level on Saturday and we got beaten. That's it.

"We've been on a long unbeaten run playing some really good football, as well as winning games. We dropped our level for a game. It's on us to pick up it again straightaway.

"It's important for us to stay in the race. When people were touting us as title contenders, after the Leeds game particularly, I felt it's a long race to win a Premier League. I did it as a player and I understand there are lots of elements of it.

"One of those is losing a game and trying to bounce back from it quickly which is what we need to do, and sustain performances and results over a period of time."
