Chelsea boss Lampard overwhelmed by local support

Chelsea boss, Frank Lampard, praised the home support after their 3-1 defeat of Leeds United.

Lampard was happy to hear the fans – despite only a masked 2,000 being allowed into the stadium.

He said, “I was nervous about Leeds. They’re a threat until the end if you don’t get a cushion. On another day we could score five or six and finish the game but we are still developing and being more clinical is in that.”

On the fans returning, he added: “It’s amazing what 2000 can do. They brought their voices and support against a good team. I’m delighted we got the result they all wanted tonight.

“The odd shout comes through to the players but that’s what it’s about. It’s been challenging without the fans and we needed [them back].”
