Lampard credits personal scoring record to work of Chelsea strikers

Chelsea ace Frank Lampard credits his goal scoring record to those ahead of him.

Lamps says the movement of Chelsea's strikers always creates scoring chances for him.

"I'm very lucky to play in a team with such good movement," Lampard tells Chelsea magazine, "especially when we're really firing.

"Defenders are worried about [Didier] Drogba and [Nicolas] Anelka, especially when they're running in behind players and pushing the defensive line back, because that opens up space for me to arrive when the ball comes into the box.

"The easiest way I ever score goals is when we win the ball and move it quickly forward. What's the point in winning the ball back and just keeping it?"
