Chelsea have parted ways with manager Frank Lampard after a spell of poor Premier League form.

Lampard spent a large majority of his playing career with the club and became all-time top goalscorer as they secured three league titles during his time at Stamford Bridge.

Here, the PA news agency looks at the midfielder-turned-manager and his relationship with the Blues.
