Frank Lampard scored his 28th England goal last night and is now England's highest ever scoring midfielder, having moved ahead of David Platt's tally of 27. Bryan Robson is in 3rd place with 26 England goals from midfield.
Congratulations to Petr Cech who reached the landmark of 100 caps for the Czech Republic this week. Cech is the Czech Republic's second most capped player after Karol Poborsky who won 118 caps between 1994 and 2006.
Another landmark for Frank Lampard: with his goal for Chelsea against Swansea today, Lampard has now scored against 38 different Premier League clubs, which equals the record set by Andy Cole.
Congratulations to Juan Mata on his 3rd place in the Footballer of the Year award announced today. He was of course also a nominee for the player's player of the year award, along with teammate Eden Hazard.
Congratulations to Frank Lampard on becoming Chelsea's all-time leading goalscorer. His 2 goals against Aston Villa have moved him on to 203 goals in total, beating the previous record of 202 held for 45 years by Bobby Tambling.
Yeh top player, cant believe he hasnt been offered a least another year by chelsea, on another note i cant wait to see the back of him, hopefully he will go abroad, he seems to like scoring against my team
aston villa.
The records just keep coming for Super Frank. Definitely my favourite ever Premier League player. Chelsea should definitely offer him a new contract - they could do it on a one year rolling deal. They've certainly got enough money! Frank should have some role at the club he loves. Is there any scope for it changing if Mourinho does, as expected, arrive for the new season?
Emotional interview here after breaking the record today. What a player.
After winning the Europa League 2012/13, Chelsea have become the first club to be holders of the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League at the same time. Chelsea have also become only the 4th club to win all 3 major UEFA competitions, the others being Ajax Amsterdam, Juventus and Bayern Munich.
Stat note for Chelsea fans: Torres has scored 9 goals in European competitions this season and the only players with more are Ronaldo with 12 and Lewandowski with 10.
