Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard says that he is "proud" to have become the club's leading goalscorer in the top flight.

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has revealed that he is "proud" to have become the club's leading goalscorer in the top flight.

Lampard's strike during Sunday's 8-0 hammering of Aston Villa saw him overtake Bobby Tambling with 130 goals.

"I'm very proud of that goals record, to beat a great man such as Bobby who is an absolute legend and a lovely bloke, it means everything," the 34-year-old told Sky Sports News.

"I've been fortunate to play for a great club and the managers had teammates around me."

Sunday's match at Stamford Bridge was also Lampard's 500th start in the Premier League.
