Frank Lampard grabbed four as Chelsea demolished Aston Villa
to soar back to the top of the Premier League table.
Lampard's quartet made him third-highest scorer in the club's
history - eclipsing legends Roy Bentley and Peter Osgood with 151
goals.
Lampard was assisted by a double from Florent Malouda and another
from substitute Salomon Kalou as Carlo Ancelotti's side smashed
in 12 goals in four days.
Chelsea have now scored 82 goals so far this season and apart from
John Carew's first-half equaliser, the Blues were in cruise control
for long periods.
The victory put them back in front of Manchester United by two
points although Sir Alex Ferguson's side play Bolton in the early
evening kick-off.
