Frank Lampard, Chelsea's all-time record scorer, came on as a late substitute for Manchester City and scored their equaliser in a 1-1 draw at the Etihad as the champions ended the leaders' perfect start to the Premier League season on Sunday.

Lampard, who scored 211 goals for Chelsea and is on loan at City from MLS side New York City, scored in the 85th minute after only six minutes on the pitch.

Andre Schurrle had put Chelsea ahead in the 71st minute, five minutes after City defender Pablo Zabaleta had been sent off for fouling Diego Costa.

In earlier action Leicester City won an astonishing match at the King Power Stadium beating Manchester United 5-3 after trailing 3-1 with 33 minutes remaining and West Bromwich Albion climbed off the bottom of the table with a 1-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur, their first of the season.

 

Crystal Palace were the day's other surprise winners, coming from behind to win 3-2 at Everton.
