Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard struck twice in their 3-0 win at West Ham United.
Lampard celebrated 100 caps for England earlier in the week.
He told Sky Sports: "It's been very nice. Obviously the 100 caps thing was a great honour for me but the most important thing was for the team to get back on track.
"We've had couple of results there that we knew if we kept losing silly points then that was us out of the race, so it was massive there for us today and I'm very pleased I was a part of it.
"You can see from the minute we started that our work rate, with or without the ball, we were chasing the ball down and Oscar was fantastic in the first half.....chasing down people in the corner and winning balls back.
"We were quick with the ball and the movement was great.
"When we play like that we're very hard to beat."
