Blackburn 2 Chelsea 3

The 25-year-old midfielder turned in a superb individual display and claimed a first-half double to take his tally for the season to 10 as the Londoners came from behind at Ewood Park, although they needed a late strike from full-back Glen Johnson to claim all three points.

Ranieri, who handed £10m signing Scott Parker a debut, was delighted with Lampard's performance and recommended him warmly to the Swede.
