Frank Lampard left feeling blue after United run riot at Old Trafford

FRANK LAMPARD’S first competitive game in charge of Chelsea ended in defeat as his side were crushed 4-0 by Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Marcus Rashford opened the scoring from the penalty spot on 18 minutes but were lucky to go into the break ahead with the visitors hitting the woodwork twice in the first-half.

But the floodgates opened for United after half-time and goals from Anthony Martial and Daniel James, either side of Rashford’s second of the afternoon, condemned Chelsea to their biggest loss at Old Trafford since 1965.
