Blues bounce back as Zola plays double jeopardy

Blackburn 2, Chelsea 3

The veteran Italian struck with 10 minutes remaining to settle an intriguing contest which had swung first in Blackburn’s favour, thanks largely to David Thompson on his home debut, and then finally towards Chelsea.

Zola will be the man this match is remembered for, however. Chelsea have not found goals easy to come by this season, but the little Italian struck twice to make him the club’s leading scorer with a tally of four in five games.
