After it was announced that Frank Lampard will be joining Manchester City on a loan deal, every other football fan had been waiting to see him play against his former club Chelsea where he had spent 13 years of his career, and as it happened, he went onto score the equalising goal against them on Sunday.

The midfielder had come on as a substitute, and scored the final goal of the game after Chelsea’s Andre Schurrle had earlier scored for the Blues.

The goal left many Chelsea supporters disheartened, and club captain John Terry was not an exception. Taking to his Instagram account, the defender posted a heartwarming message for his former teammate.

Terry wrote: “It felt strange playing against Lamps today and seeing him in a Man City shirt,Unbelievable reception the Chelsea fans gave to a true Legend today that has Chelsea in is heart forever, I really hope Lamps gets the opportunity to receive that reception at the Bridge one day. Good point today that keeps us 3 points clear at the top of the premier league.”

Following the match, when enquired, Frank Lampard told Sky Sports 1, "It's a really difficult one. I'd be unprofessional if I didn't come on and do my job, so I was trying to get into the box and it was a great ball back from Milly. It's a tough one for me. I had 13 amazing years with the Chelsea fans, so I am mixed with it. I am obviously pleased the team I play for got a draw.”

“I am a little lost for words,” he adds. “I didn't expect to come on and score like that. I came on and the Chelsea fans were singing, and that's emotional. Then I am playing for this club, who have taken me in brilliantly as well, so I am really stuck in the middle here."
