A major feature of Lampards career was his contribution of goals from midfield, many of which were as technically outstanding as this goal from 2004s Champions League quarter final against German giants Bayern Munich. With Chelsea 2-1 up against the Germans and Lampard already on the score sheet, there was no letting up from the Blues as they carried on at the same intensity. In the 70th minute, a Claude Makelele cross from the right found the chest of Frank Lampard, and the midfielder swivelled, David Platt like, and volleyed the ball past a helpless Oliver Kahn. Chelsea ended up winning the game 4-2 and eventually went through, despite a 3-2 loss in the second leg. Lampard has never scored another goal like it, the technique on the chest down was mesmerising and the volley was from the very top draw.
