Lampard scores late Man City equaliser to salvage draw against ex-club Chelsea

Chelsea's all-time record goalscorer Frank Lampard scored a late equaliser against his former club to help Manchester City hold Jose Mourinho's side 1-1 and get a point at the Etihad Stadium.

Lampard, who is on loan at City from New York City FC until January, recorded his name into Chelsea's history with 211 goals in 648 appearances for the Stamford Bridge club.

And he added another dramatic chapter to his illustrious story when he slid home a strike with five minutes left in the game after Andre Schurrle looked to have scored the goal that would have given Chelsea an eight-point advantage over the reigning Premier League champions, The BBC reported.

Lampard refused to celebrate his goal against his former club and reportedly looked to be on the verge of tears at the final whistle as he received a standing ovation from Chelsea's fans, who set aside their disappointment to acclaim the player who served them so wonderfully.

Mourinho's side remains three points clear at the top of the table despite losing their 100 percent Premier League record, the report added.
