Lampard back to haunt Blues

Premier League

Written off as both a quota-filler and a Financial Fair Play dodge, Frank Lampard came off the bench to equalise against former club Chelsea in a moment that could prove hugely significant in the title race.

Thanks to a goal from Andre Schurrle following Pablo Zabaleta’s dismissal, Chelsea were grinding their way towards the kind of 1-0 win that Lampard helped them secure so many times in his 12 years at the club when the veteran turned in from James Milner’s cross to earn a point.
