Brentford defeated Todd Boehly’s underperforming start-studded Chelsea team 2-0 at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night.
Frank Lampard still awaits his first Premier League win since returning as Chelsea ‘caretaker’ manager a few weeks ago.
Chelsea’s record goalscorer has now lost his opening five games in charge after Azpilicueta’s own goal in the 37th minute wearied the team and substitute Mbeumo’s deflected strike in the 78th minute extended the club’s worst run since 1993 in all competitions.
Chelsea have experienced Premier League losses at Wolves and at home to Brighton, plus defeats to Real Madrid in both legs of their Champions League quarter-final.
To make matters worse, Chelsea has only scored one goal under Lampard, a deflected Gallagher strike against Brighton on April 15.
The Bees sit ninth in the table following tonight’s win — twelve points off fourth-placed Manchester United, and eight points above Chelsea in 11th.
