Lampard to stay in Manchester City till end of Season
« on: January 03, 2015, 04:40:52 AM »
 Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini says that the club "need" Frank Lampard for their title push.

Lampard, 36, headed the decisive goal as City went level with Chelsea, beaten 5-3 at Tottenham, at the top of the table after a 3-2 win over Sunderland.

The ex-Chelsea midfielder, signed on a short-term contract from New York City, was due to head to the USA but extended his stay until the end of the season.

"Frank is very happy to stay here and we need him here," said Pellegrini.

BBC pundit Martin Keown praised Lampard's achievements, describing him as "remarkable".

"He is fourth now in the Premier League's all-time goalscoring list with 176," Keown told Match of the Day.

"That moves him ahead of Thierry Henry. He just keeps delivering and I'm sure Chelsea aren't happy seeing him do it."

Lampard's decision to stay at Manchester City has not impressed some supporters of New York City.  - BBC
