LONDON, Apr. 15 (BNA): Frank Lampard’s disappointing start to his second spell continues with Chelsea training as the team lost 2-1 at home to Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday, the Associated Press reports.
Julio Enchizo in the 69th minute, from long range, sealed the victory for the visitors, who beat Chelsea while Lampard echoed the turnaround for the match between his side’s home-and-away matches against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals.
Lampard has taken charge of three games since coming in as caretaker manager following the sacking of Graham Potter, losing all of them.
Firstly, there was the 1-0 loss against Wolves last weekend before the 2-0 defeat against Madrid on Wednesday.
This was Lampard’s first match at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea advanced against the course of play, as Conor Gallagher’s shot from the edge of the area hit Brighton defender Louis Dunk and goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was recalled in the 13th minute.
Danny Welbeck came on for injured striker Ivan Ferguson and equalized in the 42nd minute, heading in from a Pascal Gross cross on the right wing.
Enciso, a 19-year-old Paraguayan striker, was another first-half substitute due to an injury to Joel Feltman and scored for the second time this season when he drove forward and fired a shot upward into the top corner from a central position. 30 meters outside.
