Chelsea manager Frank Lampard couldn’t resist a smile after being told that Tottenham had been beaten by Manchester United on Wednesday evening.

Since replacing Mauricio Pochettino as manager last month, Mourinho had guided Spurs to two wins in the Premier League and provided an immediate boost to their top-four hopes.

But Mourinho suffered his first defeat as Spurs boss as United ran out 2-1 winners at Old Trafford following two goals from Marcus Rashford.

Chelsea got back on track following their defeat to West Ham at the weekend by sealing a 2-1 win over Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge.

Tammy Abraham opened the scoring for Chelsea before Trezeguet equalised but Mason Mount netted the winner in the 48th minute.

In his interview with Chelsea TV after the match, Lampard was alerted to the fact that Tottenham had suffered their first setback under Mourinho by getting beaten by United.

But when asked by the presenter if he had seen the result, Lampard broke out in a huge grin, raised his eyebrows and replied: ‘I did see that, yeah, I did.’

The win over Aston Villa means Chelsea remain in fourth place but their advantage over fifth-placed Wolves is six points.

United, meanwhile, are eight points behind Chelsea following their win over Spurs, who are one point behind Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.
