Former Chelsea star Frank Lampard booed by New York City FC fans during 7-0 loss to New York Red Bulls

Adverse reaction: Frank Lampard was booed by a section of his own fans

Chelsea legend Frank Lampard was subjected to boos by a section of his own fans during New York City FC's 7-0 thrashing by rivals New York Red Bulls on Saturday.

The incident happened after Lampard was brought on in the game at Yankee Stadium with 15 minutes to go, as his team were losing 5-0 to their city rivals.

The substitution marked the 37-year-old's first appearance for New York City since March following Lampard's trouble with a calf injury this year while he was also this week revealed to be one of the highest paid players in the league.

A report showed that the former Chelsea midfielder earns about £4,108,660 per year - the fifth highest behind Kaka, Sebastian Giovinco, Michael Bradley and Steven Gerrard.

With Lampard having had very little game time for New York City this season and, with the team being on their way to equalling the record for the heaviest-ever loss in MLS history on Saturday, some New York fans directed their frustrations at the midfielder after they booed him onto the pitch in the 74th minute.
