Frank Lampard Post Match

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard gives his thoughts on England's flying 4-0 victory over Greece at Old Trafford.

Frank Lampard hailed the start of a new era under Steve McClaren, but warned against getting too carried away.

After notching his 12th goal for the Three Lions, more than any other player in the squad against Greece, Lampard was delighted with the team performance.

"It was a great game and a good start, we've had a good couple of days of training and everyone has enjoyed it," he explained.

"It's a new era, new ideas and I think we all took those on the pitch with us. "It felt very good out there, it was an enjoyable game to play in as we had a lot of the ball."

The Chelsea midfielder is hoping that this result will set England on track to begin their European Championship qualification campaign strongly.

"The big games are coming in the future and we mustn't rest on that performance. Tonight we set the standard and we can't get carried away with what we can do.

"It's just the beginning and we're so pleased because we've had a good few days of training, the new ideas were drilled into us and it came out so well."
