Lampard refused to celebrate against his former side

On September 1, 2014, old boy Lampard faced his former side Chelsea for the first time since switching camps. It was an emotional return for the former England captain who was introduced in the 78th minute.

Manchester City were trailing 1-0 in this match at the Etihad Stadium following Andre Schurrle's 11th-minute goal. Furthermore, their back was against the wall in the 66th minute after right-back Pablo Zabaleta was sent off.

Lampard was manager Manuel Pellegrini's final card as he came on for Aleksandar Kolarov. James Milner made a brilliant run on the left flank and cut the ball back into the box. Lampard showed his familiar predatory instincts in the 85th minute to score with a half volley past the fully stretched Thibaut Courtois.
