Osgood was a name in the record books of those fortunate enough to see him play.

Yes, Chelsea revert back to their more familiar formation.
They changed it, of course, during the week in Barcelona.
And Middlesbrough a month ago.

To Lampard instead, now to Cole.

And he took a risk.
The impressive possession.
Tricked too many.

Lampard.
Gallas.
Good possession football this point.
Dawson first to it though.
Essien onto the loose ball.
Now Lampard.
Gallas.
When he realised the crowd were encouraging to do so,
he took the ball forward.
Nobody came to close him down.
And we all know he's got tremendous...
Champions.
And now Ferreira.
That's a brilliant ball for Wright-Phillips.
Crespo on mark.
Far post.
What is Lee doing here?
Davids is the deepest of players.
He should be looking at Wright-Phillips.
He's more interested looking at...
Lampard takes it early.

Crespo again unlucky.
We saw there that he buried his strike.
Looking to try and get it to Ginas.
Accurate.

Onto Cole.
Lampard.
Once again, when Tottenham get the ball away.
Mourinho that he said Tottenham had defended so deep.
A heavy price.
And that's shaken the champions.
A load lead to get into an advanced position.
Ferreira doing well to keep it on the field then.
And fine Lampard.
Tainio.
Ball control.
Gives it back to Lampard.
Interestingly poised this game.
10 minutes into the second half.
1-1.

This is Lampard.
Space on the left for Ginas.
Lampard.
Crespo.
Wright-Phillips in the middle.
The net.
Great football there from Chelsea.
It's a glorious ball from Lampard.
In behind Lee.
And Crespo does well.
He puts it back in the...
He's dropping back.
Wherever Makaleli goes.
He's in the logical substitutions.
If the team remain at 1-1.
Lampard tries his luck.
And Spain home games have ended up with them getting all three points.
So they will be disappointed if they don't win again here.
What he wanted.
When I saw that I anticipated Crespo staying on.
Because otherwise it's just been straight one for one.
Essien.
Here's Lampard.
He's going to be offside.

Not much on for him.

Looking for Crespo.
Well normed it.
Looks up.
Hits a 40-yard diagonal ball.
Crespo.
Nothing wrong with the position.
Have a 16-point lead.
Even if it ends this way.
Less than three minutes to go.
And there won't be that much stoppage time.
Just that knock for John Terry I can recall.
Lampard.
Manish.
He got under the ball.
He's very lucky to get away with that.
As Lampard weaves his way through.
That's when so many goals are scored.
You already had a warning this now.
Got away with it.
And Chelsea get it away.
Crowd imploring Graham Cole to blow the final whistle.
And now he obliges.
