FT Blackburn 0 Chelsea 2
Chelsea returned to the top of the Barclays Premier League, courtesy of a Nicolas Anelka double.
Anelka struck once in each half to make it a perfect birthday present for manager Luiz Felipe Scolari, who turned 60 today.
Aaron Mokoena side-footed a half-chance past the post as Rovers tried to find some hope.
Robbie Fowler came on for Roberts with 13 minutes left, but it was Chelsea who nearly extended their lead – with Robinson tipping Lampard’s dipping free-kick on to the bar.
Anelka raced through in the closing minutes searching for another hat-trick - but once more Robinson was heroic.
