Roy Keane's brutally honest Frank Lampard Chelsea verdict proven right after latest defeat

Roy Keane was proven right over his assessment of Frank Lampard's return to Chelsea after the former Everton and Derby boss fell to defeat for the third game in a row. The Blues were were battered by Brighton at Stamford Bridge on Saturday and could only count themselves lucky to come out 2-1 losers on the day.

It comes after Lampard's second stint in charge continues to struggle to get off the ground. Chelsea lost 1-0 to Wolves last weekend before falling to a limp 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League midweek. The task doesn't get any easier either, with the second leg against Carlo Ancelotti's European warriors next on the agenda.

Bullish as usual, Keane was quick to point out the problems of the appointment before his former rival had even gotten his feet under the table at Stamford Bridge. Speaking on The Overlap, the ex-Manchester United midfielder was keen to stress that Lampard should consider himself fortunate to land the role.
