Coventry City beat Newcastle 4-1 to leave the relegation zone
Coventry are now 14th, level on points with Manchester United after six games.
Coventry ended a 25-year wait for a top-flight goal and victory in front of their own fans. Jack Rudoni scored a penalty, and 19-year-old Sidiki Cherif scored his first Sky Blues goal.
Ellis Simms and Stephen Mfuni scored late goals to complete the 4-1 win. Two straight wins have lifted Coventry out of the relegation zone, and they are now 14th.
Coventry scored four top-flight goals in one match for the first time since May 2000. Lampard said they will be relative underdogs in pretty much every game.
