Frank Lampard and substitute Didier Drogba made sure Chelsea regained that winning mentality at the expense of Blackburn at Ewood Park as they won 2-0.
The England midfielder opened the scoring for the Barclays Premiership champions from the penalty spot in the 49th minute.
Drogba added a second in the 81st minute and the result was just the boost Chelsea needed after they went down to Middlesbrough in midweek.
