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.
