Frank assessment
Chelsea caretaker boss Frank Lampard shows his frustration during Chelsea’s 2-1 home defeat to Brighton. Having been dismissed by Everton in January, Lampard, who managed the Blues between 2019 and 2021, returned to Stamford Bridge on an interim basis in April following the sacking of Graham Potter. But the former Chelsea and England midfielder failed to spark an upturn in the club’s underwhelming form. He began with six successive defeats in all competitions before finally halting the slump with a 3-1 win at Bournemouth on May 6 (John Walton/PA)
