After returning to Chelsea as caretaker, Lambert finally snapped a six-game losing streak and won for the first time in the Premier League on Saturday night (6), beating Brentford 3-1. However, Lambert did not win any applause for his efforts to stop the bleeding of the team, but was instead applauded by the media and netizens, as Chelsea finally secured relegation.
Limbaugh, who has lost six of his six matches since returning to the club last month, got off to a good start this time around. Chelsea opened the scoring nine minutes into the match with a goal from Gunnar Gallica, but Bournemouth were quick to equalize with a goal from Matthias Winner. After that, the game was a tug-of-war, and when the fans thought Chelsea was going to lose again, the team suddenly came out of the blue in the last eight minutes, with a goal each from center back Benoit Batiatshuni and striker Zoua Félix, to take all three points and end their nine-game winless streak.
During the game, the fans were full of grievances against the team. When Lambert made a move in the second half, substituting Esperanza Gouda and Scherzinger, boos immediately appeared at the scene, obviously questioning Lambert's deployment, and also frequently drinking to the owner, Paulie, even after Chelsea's win, there are still a lot of fans who criticize the team's performance in their online speeches. Some peanut gallery members also took advantage of the situation, saying that Chelsea is already 12 points ahead of Leeds United, who are in the bottom four and have played one more game, so congratulations to Chelsea on their relegation protection.
