Chelsea hero Frank Lampard played talk of his future with a straight bat after victory over Everton. Having gone behind to Steven Pienaar's effort barely two minutes into the game Lampard pulled his side up to third place with goals either side of half-time.

Asked if he knew what the new year would hold, Lampard told Sky Sports 1: "Nope, I just hope for me personally playing in a winning team. I will keep trying to give my best as I've always done when here and will continue to do so.

"I know there's a lot of speculation and talk, but for me the enjoyable bit is the 90 minutes."
