'Welcome home Super Frank!' - Chelsea fans unveil special new banner for interim boss Lampard to show he's still loved despite sacking in 2021

• Chelsea's first home game since Lampard's return
• Club legend welcomed back by Blues fans
• Lampard was sacked as coach in 2021

WHAT HAPPENED? Lampard was appointed Chelsea's interim boss for the rest of the season in the wake of Graham Potter's dismissal as coach. The ex-Blues and England midfielder oversaw his first home game since his return on Saturday as his side faced Brighton in the Premier League and the home support held up a banner which read: "Welcome home, Super Frank."
