Frank Lampard proud of England goals record

Lampard proud of England goals record

Frank Lampard has expressed his pride at becoming England's highest ever goalscorer in midfield following Friday's 8-0 thrashing of San Marino.

The 34-year-old netted his 28th goal for the Three Lions in the World Cup qualifier, moving him up to 11th place in the all-time standings.

"It feels very good to be England's highest midfield goalscorer," Lampard told Sky Sports News. "I'm very proud of that achievement.

"It was great to be up there with the likes of the Bryan Robsons and the David Platts.

"Now I am above them and it was also an honour as always to wear the armband for your country."

England continue their World Cup qualifying campaign on Tuesday when they face Group H leaders Montenegro in Podgorica.
