Chelsea still await first season victory

Aug 19, 2019

Chelsea were held to a 1-all Premiership draw by Leicester at Stamford Bridge, leaving them 15th in the standings after two games.

Manager Frank Lampard, however, believes its only a matter of time before they win.

"It will come, and we need to remain very confident about that. We've had a tough start. To go to Manchester, play well but get well beaten. To lose the SuperCup even though we were the stronger team, and today we weren't at our best. So lots of things to improve on, but that first win will come and we must keep working."

Another Premier League result saw Sheffield United pull off a 1-nil win over Crystal Palace.
