Frank Lampard has revealed what Jose Mourinho said to him moments before Derby beat Manchester United on penalties in the Carabao Cup.
"He said what a great performance it was from the team. I appreciate that because it's not easy in defeat in that last moment," revealed Lampard.
"I think he actually said that before the penalties, but I appreciate it.
"Jose was very welcoming as a whole. We obviously know each other, and he came and spoke to me before, we spoke during and afterwards. It was an honour for me to go up against him."
"I think I need time [to take it all in]," said Lampard. "It was special – a special performance.
"To come to Manchester United and not to just nick one, but I think to play the way we played, doing all the things we have been working towards in a short space of time.
"To do it on this stage against this team full of top players with our squad which has some younger boys in it as well – the players were immense. What a night for the club to come here and do that."
