Chelsea are back up to third place in the Premier League after a 2-1 win away to Everton.

Steven Pienaar gave Everton the lead after only 63 seconds as the Toffees dominated the early exchanges.

It could have been two when Nikica Jelavic free-kick struck the post.

But Frank Lampard equalised for Chelsea three minutes before the break as the Blues played their way back into the game.

And Lampard rolled back the years, ghosting into the box to tap in his second 18 minutes from time to hand Everton their first league defeat of the season at Goodison Park.

The result leaves Chelsea eleven points behind leaders Manchester United but they have a game in hand.

There was an injury worry for Chelsea though as keeper Petr Cech went off at half time with an ankle injury to be replaced by Ross Turnbull.
