The 41-year-old manager has leveled a milestone reached by one of his predecessors.

Chelsea headcoach Frank Lampard has equalled a 30-year-old Premier League record with his side's impressive win over Watford. The English manager led out his Blue army to victory at the Vicarage Road, taking their winning run away from home to seven in succession - a feat attained by Bobby Campbell's team in 1989.

Following the mid-week's Carabao Cup Last 16 disappointment against Manchester United, the Stamford Bridge outfit quickly regrouped to retain its domineering form in the Premier League. It was business as usual with Tammy Abraham opening the scoring inside the first five minutes after kick-off. Christiano Pulisic continued in his upward trajectory in form by scoring the eventual game winner inside the 55th-minute before Gerard Deulofeu pulled one back for the hosts after a controversial penalty decision went in his favor.

The implication of Chelsea's win in the Saturday afternoon encounter is that it now ranks third on the league log with 23 points after 11 matches. The Blues have also established a six-point margin between them and cross-town rivals Arsenal who now rank fifth after drawing 1-1 in the weekend's clash with Wolves at the Emirates.

Chelsea's next away fixture in the Premier League is against Manchester City and is slated for November 23 after the Londoners feature against Ajax in the Champions League and Crystal Palace at home in the Premiership. Should they grab a win at the Etihad, Frank Lampard could outrightly become the first manager in the club's history to register eight consecutive victories away from home in the English top-flight league.
