Following the 2-0 defeat to Brentford at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea interim manager Frank Lampard was asked if he understood the boos from Chelsea fans at half-time.

Lampard told BBC: “No problem with that, completely understand it. I know these fans very well and they stick by their team. They feel down because they are used to success and they want that success all the time as we all do. I absolutely understand it, we as players and staff have to take it on the chin because they want results.

“I can say to the fans now that the players are showing application. Brentford had one shot on target and scored two goals, that kind of says it all tonight.”
