(Video): Fan footage shows special bond between Frank Lampard and Chelsea supporters

This footage of Frank Lampard applauding the Chelsea supporters after yesterday wins shows just how much the feel-good factor is back at the club.

Lampard was always going to be welcomed with open arms upon his return to Stamford Bridge this summer, and not only because of what he achieved as a player here.

The Chelsea supporters had scarcely been as disconnected from the team and the manager as they were last season. Many just did not ever warm to Maurizio Sarri.

Things are different now, though. The broken connection has been repaired by one man and one man only – Frank Lampard.

Have a look at this clip. You can feel the mutual love and respect between manager and fans, which is what we have yearned for ever since Antonio Conte walked out of the door.

Let’s hope the club place as much value on this connection as we do, and don’t dismiss Frank when the results take a turn for the worse.
