Chelsea boss Frank Lampard explained a change of role for N'Golo Kante for victory at Bournemouth.

Kante was fielded further forward on the day.

Lampard said, "It's worked for us a few times. He was fantastic in that area against Real Madrid.

"A lot of people consider him a defensive midfielder because he's so good at defensive actions. But a lot of his stuff is really front foot and we can be really good higher up the pitch with his actual end product.

"He drives into the box, he's great. He's played a few games on the bounce now so we had to take him off for legs but if he's fit and playing well, you'd have him for every minute of every game."
