Chelsea returned to the summit of the Premiership with a fine attacking display that accounted for a poor Blackburn side 5-0 at Stamford Bridge. The rout began on 20 minutes when Gael Givet diverted Nicolas Anelka's cross into his own net.
The score remained 1-0 until half time, mainly thanks to a fine display in the Rovers goal by Paul Robinson.
But then four goals in 16 minutes at the beginning of the second period confirmed the Blues dominance.
Frank Lampard fired home from close range to make it two.
Michael Essien curled in from distance and Lampard slotted a penalty after Ryan Nelson tripped Didier Drogba.
Drogba then completed the scoring from a corner.
The win was Chelsea's biggest ever against Blackburn and means the Rovers have yet to earn a point on their travels this season.
