It was a chastening result for new Chelsea manager Lampard after the club's record goalscorer took over from Maurizio Sarri in the close-season.Lampard suffered the heaviest defeat by a Chelsea boss in their first game since Danny Blanchflower lost 7-2 at Middlesbrough in December 1978.
The manner of Chelsea's second half surrender will raise questions about former England midfielder Lampard, who has just one season of managerial experience at second tier Derby.But he insisted the result was harsh on Chelsea because they controlled the game for long periods."Four mistakes for the goals, let's get that out straight away because we have to be self-critical about that," Lampard said.
Chelsea were without injured stars Callum Hudson-Odoi and Antonio Rudiger, while France midfielder N'Golo Kante was only fit enough to come off the bench.
