A vintage display from Frank Lampard temporarily lifted the pressure on under-fire boss Andre Villas-Boas in front of observant and twitchy owner Roman Abramovich.
Early reports had already suggested that an indifferent result could bring AVB’s reign to a swift end after a disappointing result against Napoli in the Champions League.
Although the first half, dominated by Chelsea, passed by without a goal, three second-half strikes ensured Abramovich’s mood lifted and AVB lived to fight another day.
“The pressure has been on the team to get results. Our run recently has not been impressive,” said Villas-Boas.
