Frank Lampard hails fans' return, but what impact does home support really have?

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard hailed the return of fans to Stamford Bridge after his side beat Leeds on Saturday, but just how much have home teams missed them?

The Blues were able to host 2,000 fans for the first time this season after the second national lockdown was lifted.

Those in attendance watched Chelsea come from behind to win 3-1 against Leeds and go top of the Premier League.

Asked if Chelsea's fans are right to consider the Blues as title contenders, Lampard said: "There's nothing wrong with the fans thinking that, their input was huge, the noise they made tonight was huge, and you can see how excited they are.
