Soccer-Lampard makes losing MLS debut for New York City FC

Aug 1 (Reuters) - Former Chelsea and England midfielder
Frank Lampard had an unhappy Major League Soccer debut on
Saturday when his new club New York City FC were beaten 3-2 by
the Montreal Impact.
The 37-year-old received a rousing ovation from the Yankee
Stadium crowd when he came on as a substitute in the 69th
minute, with New York FC already 2-1 behind.
Montreal went further ahead when Ignacio Piatti scored from
the penalty spot in the 84th minute, his second goal of the
game, before New York FC managed a consolation through Thomas
McNamara one minute later.
It was a satisfying away win for the Impact over a New York
team that also included Spaniard David Villa and Italian Andrea
Pirlo.
More than a year has passed since New York City, a new team
in their first MLS season announced they had signed Lampard, who
spent 13 years with Chelsea.
Lampard however played for English Premier League team
Manchester City, who are majority owners of the New York side,
for the 2014-15 season, before joining the MLS though his debut
was further delayed by a calf injury.
Montreal are sixth in the Eastern Conference on 27 points,
three ahead of New York City, who have played three more games.
