Three games, no wins! Lampard return to Stamford Bridge ruined despite Mount magic
Frank Lampard's first home game as Chelsea manager ended in a 1-1 draw with Leicester and this has not gone down well with him.
The Blues made an outstanding start to the game when goal-scoring midfielder Mason Mount opened the scoring but Chelsea fell away badly in the second half – with Wilfred Ndidi heading home an equaliser - and the Blues laboured to hold on to a point in the end.
It has been a while since the Matthew Harding Stand and Shed End have been filled with such excitement and optimism ahead of a game, and Lampard emotionally saluted the crowd as the first whistle sounded.
Mount was nurtured by Lampard on loan at Derby County last season, and the 41-year-old and his coaching team had little doubt that he was ready to step up.
The 20-year-old will be key for the Blues this season and he proved his manager was right to pick him ahead of Ross Barkley, going close on two other occasions in the first half.
Mason is so hungry but he has a very good understanding of what he needs to be as a player," Lampard explained.
