Frank Lampard sends Chelsea in to second place

Chelsea 2 Wigan 1. Frank Lampard's last-gasp header stole all three points for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge against a lively Wigan. "Chelsea celebrated their victory in stoppage time as if they had won the Premier League, and who knows? Lampard’s decisive header, with 91 minutes on the clock, lifted his team into second place in the table, and they could trim Manchester United’s lead at the top to four points if they win again at Portsmouth on Tuesday," writes Joe Lovejoy in the Sunday Times. "At the final whistle Didier Drogba gleefully booted the ball into the crowd and Lampard and John Terry, the Chelsea goalscorers, embraced in recognition of another restorative result which makes it three wins out of three under Guus Hiddink’s revivalist management. Would it have spelled the end of Chelsea’s title hopes if it had finished 1-1? Smiling, Hiddink said: 'I’m glad it’s an if and not a fact.' Wigan thought they had gained a draw, which would not have flattered them, when Olivier Kapo equalised in the 82nd minute, but Lampard exemplified Chelsea’s never-say-die spirit in looping a header over Chris Kirkland after Michael Ballack had set him up from Terry’s long punt. The midfielder has now scored five times in his past seven league games and, with 15 in all, is set to pass the 20 mark in the season yet again. "
