The Blues went behind to an Erik Lamela strike midway through the
first-half, but Frank Lampard and Romelu Lukaku hit back to hand Jose
Mourinho's side the morale boosting victory. The west London giants started strongly and were denied an early opener when Morgan De Sanctis saved well from Michael Essien's effort, and the Italians then went on to rub salt in the wounds after a mistake between Mark Schwarzer and Ryan Bertrand at the other end allowed Lamela to tap in.
Six changes at the break from Mourinho inspired the turn-around, though, with one of those substitutes, Lampard, firing home low into the back of the net following some good combination play between Eden Hazard and Demba Ba.
The pair then again linked up to deadly effect as the game looked to be heading towards a draw, with Lukaku this time rounding off a good attacking move to snatch the win just before the full-time whistle.
