Blues fans were left seriously impressed with the midfielder, while some supporters watching on Wednesday were calling for Ampadu's inclusion in the first-team.
Here's how some fans reacted to Ampadu's performance
When he was unveiled as Chelsea's new boss, Lampard was keen to stress the importance of giving youngsters a chance in his set-up, something he acted upon during his time with Derby County.
Now aged 18, Ampadu is one of the most exciting young players Welsh football has seen for a number of years, and Lampard could be the perfect man to bring out the best in the teenager and further his development at club level.
