Frank Lampard hopes he made Roman Abramovich happy with Chelsea’s win over Krasnodar.

The Blues owner attended his first live Chelsea match in nearly 15 months on Wednesday night.

The Russian billionaire had not seen the Blues in the flesh since a friendly against Red Bull Salzburg in July 2019.

But after spending nearly £250MILLION on new talent this summer, the Chelsea owner was one of the 11,000 people inside the Krasnodar Stadium to watch the Blues win 4-0.

Mr Abramovich has not visited Stamford Bridge in nearly three years over issues with his Visa.

After the match, Lampard said: “I was aware that he was at the game obviously, which always makes us happy.

“I always feel the support of the owner at the club, whether he’s here at games or not.

“To have him here is a nice bonus for myself, for the squad, and we’re very respectful of him of course.

“I didn’t manage to see him because before the game I was in the dressing room.

“A couple of my staff members spoke to him. By the time I came out for the warm-up, he wasn’t around.

“I’m very pleased we put on what we thought was a good performance – four goals and a clean sheet in his home country – so I hope it made him happy.”
