Veteran City ace still knows where the goal is despite advancing years.
This season has seen Frank Lampard show the world that he is still a top class player. Always prolific at Chelsea over the years, he has continued his fine goalscoring form at the Etihad with three goals from seven appearances. Not many have realised just yet, but those goals give him the Premier League’s best strike rate of players with three goals or more. See below to check who he’s outperforming.

3. Diego Costa – Chelsea
Goals: 11
Minutes per goal: 83
The naturalised Spaniard has settled easily into life in the Premier League and is already on double figures, but his injuries have undoubtedly held him back from hitting his top form.
2. Sergio Aguero – Manchester City
Goals: 12
Minutes per goal: 81
Aguerooooooo has more goals in less minutes that Costa, as he looks to make up for what he missed out on last term. The Argentine has stepped up his performances already and will be the driving force behind the current champions’ quest to retain their title and stop a strong Chelsea outfit from getting their mitts on it.
1. Frank Lampard – Manchester City
Goals: 3
Minutes per goal: 68
Lampard has played more already than most believed he would at the Etihad, but whereas Costa and Aguero have been relied on by their sides, Lampard has been a bit part player. However, whenever he has been on the pitch he has either scored or looked like scoring, proving that he still has plenty to offer despite his aged legs.
