Chelsea won 3-1 against Bournemouth and substitutions played a pivotal role in securing this victory. Frank Lampard expressed great satisfaction with the impact made by Sterling, Ziyech, and the other subs in the match:
Here's what he said according to chelseafc.com: "In terms of the subs, I think all the subs we made had an impact. Ruben and Raheem coming on that bit earlier. Ruben gave us a bit of physical presence and calmness on the ball. Raheem was involved in the goals."
"Azpi comes on and gives us leadership, Hakim came on and got an assist and played really well. Opinion can always change in a period, but they are two players in Hakim and Raheem that want to do well as football players and they’ve got big talent, both of them."
"Sometimes if it’s form and there’s been a lot of underperformances at times this year, it’s temporary and I think their class is permanent. I’m pleased for them having an impact today when they came on."
