Liverpool legend Carragher says Chelsea's Lampard better than Man Utd icon Scholes

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher rates Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard ahead of Manchester United hero Paul Scholes. Carragher wrote in the Daily Mail: "I know Barcelona's Xavi described Scholes as the best midfielder of the last 20 years but Frank has influenced more big games - his goals clinched Chelsea's first title in 2005, he has won them an FA Cup final and scored in a Champions League final.

"He has also played more and scored more for England, and his tally of 166 Premier League goals - the highest by a midfielder - outstrips the 107 Scholes scored."
