2010 Chelsea Away – Frank Lampard #8 Small

The 2009–10 season was one of the greatest in Chelsea’s history. Under Carlo Ancelotti, the Blues became the first Premier League team to score 100 goals in a season and captured the league and FA Cup double.

• Premier League: 🏆 1st place, 86 points, 103 goals scored (a record at the time).

• FA Cup: 🏆 Winners, 1–0 vs Portsmouth in the final (Drogba goal).

• League Cup: ❌ Eliminated in the Fifth Round.

• UEFA Champions League: ❌ Knocked out in Round of 16 by Inter Milan (José Mourinho’s return to Stamford Bridge).

It was Chelsea’s most prolific and dominant domestic season ever.

⭐ Frank Lampard’s Impact (2009–10)

Frank Lampard had arguably his finest individual season in a Chelsea shirt in 2009–10:

• Scored 22 league goals and 27 in all competitions from midfield — a remarkable tally.

• Added 14 assists, making him one of the most productive players in Europe.

• His partnership with Didier Drogba, Florent Malouda, and Nicolas Anelka was central to Chelsea’s record-breaking attack.

• Memorable performances included a four-goal display vs Aston Villa in a 7–1 win and crucial goals down the stretch that secured the title.

Lampard’s consistency and leadership were vital, cementing his legacy as Chelsea’s greatest-ever midfielder.
