Frank Lampard made a losing return to the Chelsea hot-seat as Wolverhampton Wanderers eased their Premier League relegation worries with a hard-earned victory.<\/p>\n

Chelsea legend Lampard was predictably given a rapturous reception from the travelling fans at Molineux following his appointment as caretaker manager 27 months after being sacked from the role.<\/p>\n

Yet Chelsea\u2019s all-time record goalscorer was unable to arrest the poor form that led to Graham Potter\u2019s sacking, as mid-table Blues failed to score for the third successive game en route to an 11th league defeat of the season.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wolves were on the front-foot throughout and deserved their win which came after a sweet finish by Matheus Nunes, the Portugal midfielder\u2019s first goal for the club since joining from Sporting Lisbon last August.<\/p>\n

Nunes, who cost a club record \u00a338m, beat Kepa Arrizabalaga with a fierce attempt from a tight angle after an attempted headed clearance by Kalidou Koulibaly.<\/p>\n

Joao Felix forced a save from Jose Sa but Chelsea were disappointing and remain 11th after just two wins in 11 league games.<\/p>\n
