Lampard also claims that no-one in the Stamford Bridge camp was surprised to see Luiz rattle home a spectacular 25-yard free-kick against Villa. He added: "You don't see the hours put in on the training pitch to work on that technique. "David has done it and now you are seeing the rewards, because every time we get a free-kick in that area you fancy him to get it on target."
