Leicester crash Lampard's Chelsea home-coming party

LONDON: Chelsea manager Frank Lampard had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Leicester City in his first home match in charge on Sunday as a second-half header by Wilfred Ndidi cancelled out Mason Mount's early goal on his home debut.

Before the match, fans in the Shed End unveiled a banner emblazoned with the huge words:"Welcome home, Super Frank" and Lampard told reporters later that it was"the stuff of dreams" to return to Stamford Bridge. "That was the disappointing thing for me – that we couldn’t sustain the period of the early part of the game," Lampard said."I don’t expect that 100-miles-an-hour energy for the 90 minutes, but I do expect that when you rest, you can keep possession of the ball better. That was the big thing for me today."

But Leicester grew steadily into the game and equalised in the 67th minute when Ndidi atoned for his first-half error by heading home a James Maddison corner.
