Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard on Sunday scored the 200th goal of his illustrious Chelsea career, once again making his former club West Ham bear the brunt.
Lampard had been stuck on 199 goals for the last month but after four games without a goal, he finally found the back of the net against his old club, reaching the landmark when he netted in the 19th minute of the London derby at Stamford Bridge.
Lampard was picked out by an Eden Hazard cross and the 34-year-old took advantage of a woeful West Ham defending to power a header past Jussi Jaaskelainen.
The midfielder whose future at Stamford Bridge is yet to be decided has attained a legend status in the hearts of the Chelsea fans, and hopes his superlative performance of late can convince Chelsea to keep him.
Lampard, who joined Chelsea from West Ham for £11 millon in June 2011, is now just two goals behind Bobby Tambling’s all-time record for the club.
