Chelsea manager Frank Lampard insists his team remains a work in progress after their 17-match unbeaten run was ended at Goodison Park.

Everton’s 1-0 win, courtesy of a Gylfi Sigurdsson penalty, was the third successive loss Chelsea had suffered on the ground and was a reality check for Lampard’s side, who would have gone top of the Premier League with a victory.
