Lampard makes losing return as Chelsea beaten at Wolves

Frank Lampard made a losing return to Chelsea as he led the side to a 1-0 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Chelsea legend was appointed an interim boss earlier this week to salvage the situation at Stamford Bridge following the departure of Graham Potter.

Wolves eased their relegation worries with the hard-earned victory, courtesy of a 31st-minute winner by Matheus Nunes.
