‘Right at the top of my career’ – Frank Lampard after Coventry City secure Championship title | OneFootball

Frank Lampard says winning the Championship with Coventry City is “right at the top” of his career achievements.

Lampard’s side had already confirmed promotion to the Premier League but secured the title on Tuesday with a 5-1 win over Portsmouth.

“It’s right at the top of my career,” Lampard said.

“I said it after Blackburn but to seal the title in the manner that we did, the way the team played from minute one, how we stepped it up in the second half, players that came on the pitch, the show of togetherness, the show of quality.

“We’ve had a lot of these performances at the CBS this year, this team has been so consistent. The last few weeks have been challenging in a way because of the pressure, because we’re not used to this and we’ve got the results we needed recently to get us promoted.

 “It was just a great night, it was so nice because we had the jeopardy of Friday night, which in a weird way was great the way we did it, the way Bobby rose and gets the header and the 7000+ fans had that. That was amazing in its own right.

“This is amazing in its own right, this it what I really, really wanted because we led the table for so long and pushed on this second half of the season as it’s gone on. That takes a really strong unit and a strong group and they’ve shown that.

“When you get this close, to go and do it with two games to spare is incredible, because this league gets harder.”
