Leicester star Fuchs watches Chelsea icon Lampard in New York

Premier League champions Christian Fuchs attended Frank Lampard's milestone match in New York on Thursday.

The former Chelsea, England and Manchester City midfielder scored his 300th and 301st goals of his club and country career when firing home a late brace in New York City FC's 3-2 win over DC United.

Leicester City star Fuchs was in the crowd at Yankee Stadium to watch the 38-year-old strut his stuff in front of a crowd of almost 24,000.

Fuchs, who is reportedly pondering a future career in NFL, is in the US during the international break. The former Austria captain retired from international duty following Euro2016.

The 30-year-old has other ties in the States having founded the Fox Soccer Academy in New York.
