#2 Frank Lampard's side showing their quality

Image result for frank lampard — Frank Lampard's men showed class today.

Despite going behind inside the first three minutes of the games, Derby County never looked out of belief or confidence. The game was very open in the first 15 minutes with any team could have scored.

But in the second half, Frank Lampard's men looked like a different side altogether. They were the better team in all throughout the half playing more passes and creating better chances. Derby got the goal in their best spell of the game with an absolute sumptuous of a free kick followed by a header from a rebound shot to go ahead in the match. Though they will be disappointed conceding so late in the game, certainly Derby County matched United stride to stride and took the game to the Red Devils.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
