Chelsea's Frank Lampard expresses his desire to reach Wembley in the League Cup.

Chelsea's Frank Lampard has insisted that his side are taking the League Cup seriously after reaching the semi-finals of the competition with a 5-1 thrashing of Leeds United.

The England midfielder described every trophy as "a big deal" and expressed his desire to reach Wembley with the Blues.

"We upped it in the second half. We were slow in the first but when we played with pace, you could see the difference," BBC Sport quotes him as saying.

"We had a word with ourselves at half time and the early goal gave us an impetus to go on and win it.

"Every trophy is a big deal for us, when we look back after our careers finish, we will look back on all our trips to Wembley."

Goals from Juan Mata, Branislav Ivanovic, Victor Moses, Eden Hazard and Fernando Torres sent Chelsea through to the last four after Luciano Becchio had put Leeds in front.

Chelsea will play Swansea City in the semi-final.
