Lampard Hails Frank Onyeka After Stunning Goal in Coventry Win
Frank Lampard has praised Frank Onyeka following his outstanding performance in Coventry City’s 3–2 victory over Derby County in the EFL Championship.
Onyeka opened the scoring in style, producing a moment of brilliance that set the tone for an entertaining encounter as Coventry secured all three points.
Reacting after the game, Lampard highlighted not just the quality of the finish but the Nigerian midfielder’s all-round contribution in the buildup.
“It was brilliant from Frank, not just the finish, but the winning the ball back and Cruyffing near the touchline and then going and joining in again to receive the pass from Romain Esse in the box,” Lampard said.
The former Chelsea FC manager added that Onyeka’s display reflected exactly why the club brought him in, while expressing delight at seeing him finally get on the scoresheet.
“It’s the attributes that we brought him in to do, but the special thing is the goal. I felt a goal was coming for Frank.
“He’s quite hungry to get in there and has got the capacity to arrive and shoot, and it was a fantastic goal,” he added.
Onyeka’s strike proved crucial as Coventry held on for a hard-fought win, with his growing influence continuing to impress for both club and the Super Eagles.
