In case you were wondering, Lampard chose against celebrating the goal out of respect for his former team.
Also, Lampard was understandably emotional after the final whistle.
Frank Lampard: "It's a really difficult one. I'd be unprofessional if I came on and didn't do my job so I'm mixed with it. "
