Chelsea have come from behind to beat Aston Villa 2-1 in today's only Premier League game.

Frank Lampard was the hero for the Blues as his double gave his side all three points. But the two goals also meant that the midfielder has become Chelsea's record goalscorer with 203 goals for the club.

A superb Christian Benteke goal had given Villa the lead after fifteen minutes at Villa Park, but Frank Lampard equalised at the hour mark.

Then with minutes remaining Lampard ghosted into the box and scored again, becoming the highest scorer in Chelsea history.

The win virtually guarantees Chelsea's place in the Champion's League next season.

Both sides finished with ten men after Ramires saw a second yellow card just before half time, while Benteke got his second booking after the break.
