“I think it was good,” the ex-England man said on BT Sport.
“I think in terms of general play they did everything they had to do. They were very solid in the first half without being spectacular.
“They went 1-0 down to a mistake, they responded very well and just some nights those goals don’t go in.
“So let’s hope they draw Besiktas on Monday and they don’t have to worry about it, we’ll see.”
However, Lampard may . have to be careful what he wishes for. Besiktas are unbeaten in the UEFA Champions League and even defeated RB Leipzig in Germany with their B team on Wednesday night.
Furthermore, Chelsea lost to Besiktas in Istanbul the last time the two sides faced up.
