Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic has claimed that the team have moved on from losing Frank Lampard.
The 36-year-old, who left Stamford Bridge on a free transfer this summer, has scored four goals in the past week for Manchester City, which has led to claims that he left the Blues too early.
However, Matic believes that the goals from players such as Diego Costa have filled the void left by Lampard's departure.
"In this moment Chelsea have different players scoring every match. Of course Diego has been doing very well and scored eight in six league games - that is not easy to do. But I think as a team we are perfect," he told the London Evening Standard.
"It's important to have a player in form like Diego that can score in every game if possible. But we have already had 11 players scoring goals and that's good for team spirit and for the club.
"It shows we have a lot of quality in the team and every player can be decisive, in every moment. As a group we are really strong. Chelsea plays like one. Everything is going well for us."
Lampard scored against Chelsea for City in their 1-1 draw at the Etihad Stadium last Sunday.
