CHELSEA LEAVE DERBY COUNTING

By  | 

Chelsea knocked Derby out of the Carabao Cup in the fourth round as Frank Lampard’s return to Stamford Bridge as a manager ended in a dramatic defeat.

Five goals were scored in a feisty first half, including two own goals from Derby defenders Fikayo Tomoriand Richard Keogh.

The Championship side came from behind twice through Jack Marriott and Martyn Waghorn.

This was Lampard’s first defeat at Stamford Bridge as either a player or manager since September 2013 when Chelsea lost 2-1 to Basel in the Champions League.

But Cesc Fabregas slotted home four minutes before half-time for what proved to be the winner.

Chelsea have been drawn at home to Bournemouth in a repeat of last season’s quarter-final.

 

Before kick-off, a minute’s applause was held in tribute to the victims of Saturday’s helicopter crash at Leicester City.

Derby are the first team to score two own goals against Chelsea since Stoke did so in the Premier League in January 2013.
