Frank Lampard's Derby scored two own goals as Chelsea earned a hard-fought 3-2 Carabao Cup win at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea's record goalscorer was serenaded throughout a night which must have felt all the more surreal because of the way the fourth-round match unfolded.
Lampard must have sensed an opportunity missed as Derby conceded three times in the first half and could only reply twice, exiting as Chelsea advanced to the quarter-finals.

5 mins: Chelsea 1 - 0 Derby - Tomori OG
It's a shocker for Chelsea loanee Tomori. Zappacosta puts a timid cross into the box and Tomori makes a mess of his intended clearance missing the ball with his left foot as it deflects off his standing leg and goes into the corner of the goal.

Derby are level! Jack Marriott has four goals in five games for Derby as he scores the equaliser. Cahill makes a series of errors, first by giving the ball to Huddlestone with a wayward pass and then he slips when defending the vital pass through to Marriott leaving the Derby man with a difficult sight on goal but he delivers nonetheless.
West Ham vs Tottenham
12 mins: West Ham 0 - 0 Tottenham
Christian Eriksen has a left footed shot from the centre of the box saved by Adrian, it was a good chance to put Spurs one up at the London Stadium but the scores remain level.

Waghorn gets away from Christensen and he's in on goal, the ball gets stuck under his feet and he finds no power with the shot, Caballero making an easy save in the end. Derby should be in front that was a golden chance!
