City captain Vincent Kompany believes Lampard's equaliser against Chelsea could kick start City's season. Lampard's scored against his former club and prevented them from getting three points for the first time this season.
Speaking to Goal.com kompany had this to say;"Ever since I've been at this club, seasons and big moments have been decided on small events like this, so I will never underestimate what it could mean to our season,"
"Frank has brought experience - experience is not just a word you make up, it's really something that helps, like the goal he scored.
"It means keeping your head cool when you're under pressure and we're down to 10 men. How many players would've scored that goal? That's what he's proven in only a few minutes."
According to The Manchester Evening News Lampard could now be set to extend his loan at City to help cover the loss of Toure to the African Cup Of Nations in January.
The Ivorian could miss up to five weeks of Premier League action after Christmas, including tough trips to Chelsea and Everton.
