Frank Lampard goal against Chelsea for Man City was 'weird', says Gary Cahill

Chelsea pair Andre Schurrle and Gary Cahill admitted it was a strange experience to be on the receiving end of a Frank Lampard goal on Sunday.

Lampard, Chelsea’s record goalscorer, rescued a point for Manchester City against his former club when he equalised against the Blues in the 85th minute at the Etihad Stadium.

The veteran midfielder, who had been introduced as a 78th-minute substitute, made the score 1-1 with a calm volleyed finish after a trademark run into the penalty area.

Lampard is on a short-term loan with City from his new employers New York City following 13 years at Stamford Bridge.

He had mixed emotions about his first goal for the club and it was also a strange ending to the game for his old team-mates.

Centre-back Cahill said: 'It was weird, of course, because you think of Frank in a Chelsea shirt.

'It's been that way for many, many years. We've seen him score that kind of goal so many times over the years."

Schurrle, who had fired Chelsea ahead in the 71st minute, said: "It's strange to see him in another shirt.

"We wanted to win this match but he scored for Man City. Of course it's nice for him to get his first goal but we wanted the win and we were very close to that."

The German forward added: 'It was important not to lose here, that's what our goal was.

"But when you're so close to winning and you're a man in front obviously it's disappointing not to win, but we have to keep going now and win the next match."
