In the summer of 2009, Carlo Ancelotti took the helm at Chelsea and knew he had to deliver silverware for Roman Abramovich. His appointment was vindicated a year later, when Chelsea were crowned winners of the Premier League and the FA Cup as the side pipped Manchester United to the title by a single point, on the final day with an emphatic 8-0 victory over Wigan. This win helped them on their way to a Premier League record of 103 league goals scored in a season. 22 of the goals were contributed by Lampard, who scored the second goal on the final day to send them on their way. Chelsea had a simple route to the final, scoring 16 goals in the process and 3 were from Lampard. In the final, they came up against recently relegated Portsmouth, who provided a sterner test. Thanks to a Didier Drogba goal, a free kick in the second half, they had the lead, meaning a penalty miss from Frank Lampard was irrelevant. Another FA Cup for Frank Lampard. Ancelottis arrival led to a more attacking Chelsea than had previously been. This was to the advantage of Lampard who bagged 27 goal in all competitions, a huge contribution for a midfielder.
