Bolton Wanderers

Premier League

30 April 2005

Super Frank made an indelible mark on one of the most memorable days in club history by scoring twice at Bolton in 2005 to end Chelsea’s half-century wait for a league title.

After a nervy opening hour, the midfielder triggered wild celebrations in the away end at the Reebok Stadium by outmuscling a Bolton defender to reach Didier Drogba’s flick-on and cutting inside another before driving home a hard, low shot.

His second, 14 minutes from time, showed wonderful poise as he gathered Claude Makelele’s through ball in the centre circle on a counter-attack and ran clear before rounding goalkeeper Jussi Jaskalainen to seal the win which ended our long title drought.
