Chelsea's 10 oldest Premier League scorers ranked

Jordan Henderson's two-goal debut against Bournemouth placed him among the oldest scorers in Chelsea's Premier League history, prompting a look at the full top ten.

Henderson, aged 36 years and 115 days, scored twice from long range in Chelsea's 5-1 win, slotting in at seventh on the all-time list behind club legends who also found the net deep into their careers.

Thiago Silva tops the list at 39 years and 198 days, his final Chelsea goal coming against Sheffield United in April 2024 — a header past Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson that surpassed Dick Spence's long-standing club record set in April 1947.

Didier Drogba sits second at 37 years and 49 days. His 164th and final Chelsea goal was a composed finish away to Leicester City in April 2015 as the club closed in on the Premier League title under Jose Mourinho.

Gianfranco Zola is third at 36 years and 290 days, ending his Chelsea scoring account with a lob over Everton goalkeeper Richard Wright from near the touchline.

Mal Donaghy (36 years, 167 days) and John Terry (36 years, 159 days) complete the top five. Terry's last goal came in a 4-3 home win against Watford in May 2017, while Donaghy scored in a 4-3 comeback derby victory over Tottenham in February 1994.

Glenn Hoddle (36 years, 150 days) scored a solitary league goal for Chelsea, finishing neatly in a 2-0 home win over West Ham in March 1994.

Frank Lampard rounds out the top eight at 35 years and 289 days. His 211th and final Chelsea goal came from a penalty rebound at Stamford Bridge against Stoke City in April 2014.

Gianluca Vialli (34 years, 311 days) and Marcel Desailly (34 years, 246 days) complete the top ten. Vialli scored with a control-and-volley against Derby in May 1999, while Desailly headed an equaliser against Liverpool in May 2003 to help secure Champions League qualification.
