Frank Lampard provided the perfect response to his recent critics with a superb hat-trick as Chelsea demolished Bolton Wanderers 5-1 at the Reebok Stadium.
The veteran midfielder, who was hauled off at the interval in the defeat at Old Trafford, before being dropped to the bench for Chelsea's subsequent Premier League game against Swansea, scored three goals in just 59 minutes.
Daniel Sturridge opened the scoring with just two minutes gone at the Reebok before Lampard doubled Chelsea's lead shortly after. Sturridge scored his second goal of the game after 25 minutes with Lampard capitalising on a mistake by Bolton goalkeeper Adam Bogdan to make it 4-0.
Dedryck Boyata gave Bolton hope with his goal shortly after the interval. But Lampard completed his hat-trick on the hour mark to put the result beyond doubt.
The result sees Bolton glued to the bottom of the Premier League with Chelsea leapfrogging Newcastle into third.
