This was Frank Lampard’s first MLS goal for New York City (Video)

Classic Lampard finish...

Ben Kenyon

Frank Lampard had an incredible goal record for his former club Chelsea.

The England midfielder scored 211 goals, cementing himself as the club’s all-time record goalscorer scorer.

While everyone probably thought he would be banging them in from the off at New York City FC in a side with David Villa and Andrea Pirlo, it took him a few games to get off the mark.

But when he did it was a classic Frank Lampard goal. He was hovering around the edge of the box and when the ball came to him, he made no mistake – controlling it, before placing it right in the bottom corner.

It was a lovely finish from Lampard, but just look at that ball over the top from Pirlo. That’s a ball you could make sweet, sweet love to.
