The Non-Celebration


It’s a scene that has played out numerous times. Frank Lampard scores a critical goal on the brink of full time and the supporters roar. In this instance, the setting is oddly not Stamford Bridge, but the Etihad. Lampard has scored in the powder blue of Manchester City against his former Chelsea. Were it a screenplay, the scene would be criticised as contrived and pat. But as it transpired in game week five of the Premier League 2014-2015, we have no choice other than to marvel at Fate.
