Chelsea FC delivered a stunning performance against Manchester City on October 27, 2007, securing a resounding 6-0 victory in a match that would go down in Premier League history.
The match at Stamford Bridge saw both sides field strong lineups, but it was Chelsea who took control early on. Didier Drogba opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, followed by a quick-fire double from Frank Lampard in the 30th and 34th minutes.
Manchester City struggled to contain Chelsea's attacking prowess, and Salomon Kalou added a fourth goal just before halftime. The second half was equally one-sided, with Michael Ballack scoring in the 62nd minute and substitute Shaun Wright-Phillips completing the rout in the 88th minute.
The match was particularly memorable for Lampard's second goal, a stunning long-range strike from outside the penalty area. The goal, which has since become known as "THAT Frank Lampard goal," is widely regarded as one of the greatest goals in Premier League history.
Chelsea's victory extended their unbeaten streak at home to 15 games and moved them to the top of the Premier League table. Manchester City, on the other hand, suffered their heaviest defeat in the league since their promotion in 2006.
