Frank Lampard scores his 200th goal as Chelsea move up to 3rd position in the Premier League table.
After their 2-0 over West Ham
United on Sunday, Chelsea FC climbed back into the 3rd spot in the
Premier league table. The Blues had a convincing performance which earned them
the win and their new spot on the table.
Although Demba Ba missed what
seemed like a ‘golden opportunity’ in the 7th minute of the game, the Blues went
on to secure a goal in each half of the match. Chelsea scored their opening
goal in the 19th minute through Frank Lampard as he headed home an Eden Hazard
cross, making it 1-0. After Frank Lampard scored his 200th goal for his
side, Chelsea fans serenaded the English player throughout the second half.
In a
very touching gesture, Lampard turned to Terry and held out the captain’s armband
just as John Terry sprinted in at Stamford Bridge as a 78th-minute substitute. It
was symbolic, touching the hearts and minds of the 40,000 supporters who have
lived the dream with this celebrated Chelsea pair over the years.
The very talented trio Hazard, Mata
and Victor Moses made it quite difficult for West Ham to make a comeback and in
the 50th minute, in one of their many moves, a smart one-two between
Mata and Hazard saw the Blues clench onto yet another goal, this time it was
Hazard that found the back of the net from close range, virtually ending the
tie. West Ham tried to find their way back into the match but were unable
to penetrate the Chelsea defense.
