Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard rates Manchester United ace Wayne Rooney as better than Blues legend Gianfranco Zola.

"Wazza is the best I've played with," said Lampard.

"When Wayne exploded on to the England scene at 17 I'd never seen anything like him for his power. His awareness is exceptional - it's his key strength.

"Zola is top class as a player and coach. But the football Wayne is producing for England makes him a very special player."
