Chelsea Vs. Tottenham Hotspur: 1-1 At Halftime Thanks To Bizarre Frank Lampard Goal

Well it's 1-1 at Stamford Bridge after half time thanks to a pair of long range goals, one of them absolutely superb, and the other... less so. Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Sandro gave the visitors an early lead with a stunner of a shot which flew into Petr Cech's right-hand corner from fully thirty yards. Although the goal came very much against the run of play, it was enough to send fear a-fluttering into Chelsea hearts - the team absolutely needs a win today in order to continue in their rather halfhearted title chase.

The equaliser came in bizarre fashion, with Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard lining up a shot from 30 yards that was aimed straight at Tottenham goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes. Gomes, who had been instrumental in keeping the hosts off the scoresheet with a phenomenal save from Didier Drogba earlier on in the match, seemed like he'd keep the ball out easily, but he allowed it to slip through his legs and onto the goalline, whereupon the goal was given despite the ball never clearly going in. That's going to be a reaaaaally controversial one, but Chelsea are level, and one would have to imagine that Lampard will take it.
