Derby County's Carabao Cup run ended on Wednesday, but the club's manager left Stamford Bridge a contented man
Frank Lampard described himself as a "lucky man" after receiving a hero's reception on his first visit to Chelsea as an opposition manager.
The Derby County boss oversaw an entertaining 3-2 defeat in the Carabao Cup as his new club, winners over Manchester United in the third round, went close to claiming another famous scalp.
A pair of own goals in the opening 21 minutes made their task even tougher in London and a close-range Cesc Fabregas finish shortly before half-time provided the telling blow.
