Chelsea has picked the right time to find their form. Outscoring their opponents 12-1 this week, Chelsea dismantled Aston Villa today 7-1. Frank Lampard, longtime Chelsea midfielder and English international, scored his 150th goal for his club and had a total of four in the match. The win also pushed Chelsea back into first place in the Premier League table for the time being (Manchester United can take the lead back with a win on Monday).
Chelsea Moves Into First In The EPL With 7-1 Thrashing Of Aston Villa
From the BBC:
Lampard’s four goals, including two from the penalty spot, were the centrepiece of an emphatic Chelsea victory as they followed up their 5-0 midweek win at Portsmouth with another goal-laden attacking display.
And as coach Carlo Ancelotti insisted the disappointment of their Champions League exit at the hands of Inter Milan may yet aid their attempts to regain the title, Chelsea’s embarrassing superiority over a Villa side with sights set on the top four provides the perfect tonic for next Saturday’s visit to Old Trafford.
It was a win made all the more impressive because it was achieved without main marksman Didier Drogba, who was rested on the substitutes’ bench after picking up a knock in the midweek victory at Fratton Park. To say he was not missed is an understatement.
As SBNation reported earlier, Chelsea will regain the services of Ashley Cole sometime in April - before the end of the EPL season. The Blues have seven games remaining on their schedule this season including their matchup with Man U on Saturday.
