Frank Lampard got his first win as Chelsea head coach on Saturday afternoon as they registered a 4-0 victory over St Patrick's Athletic.
Mason Mount, who spent last campaign on loan at Derby under Lampard, opened the scoring with a well-taken goal from Mateo Kovacic's pass, before Emerson Palmieri doubled the lead on 31 minutes.
It was to get even better for the Blues in the second half with Olivier Giroud netting a double following his introduction from the bench at half-time.
The Frenchman was in and out of the team last season despite Alvaro Morata and Gonzalo Higuain's struggles in front of goal and he will be hoping for an extended run in the team under Lampard next season.
Certainly doing his case no harm at all with a double, Giroud spoke about what he likes about life under Lampard when speaking with Radio 5 Live Sports Extra .
"I like his energy and desire to always improve and win," he said. "We've been training very hard with high intensity."
"I think he [Lampard] is the right person. He is basically a Chelsea legend," added the Frenchman.
"We all believe in his quality to improve the team and with the transfer ban it's a good opportunity for the young players to show what they can do.
"Now we're excited to play the first league game."
