Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has revealed that he is "proud" to have become the club's leading goalscorer in the top flight.

Lampard's strike during Sunday's 8-0 hammering of Aston Villa saw him overtake Bobby Tambling with 130 goals.

"I'm very proud of that goals record, to beat a great man such as Bobby who is an absolute legend and a lovely bloke, it means everything," the 34-year-old told Sky Sports News.

"I've been fortunate to play for a great club and the managers had teammates around me."

Sunday's match at Stamford Bridge was also Lampard's 500th start in the Premier League.
