A defensive Blackburn side had one good chance in a first-half that saw Chelsea hit woodwork twice but it rarely looked like a game we wouldn't win.
But they fought through and then
the goals came after the break and both from set-pieces. Ivanovic, excellent along with Terry in defence as well as a threat at the other end, shot in from close range. Anelka followed up by netting from equally close to goal after Ivanovic made his aerial power tell.
Although the display wasn't vintage Blues, it completed back-to-back wins for the first time since that Ewood Park victory was followed up with a win in Moscow. Hopes of a revival are alive.
this was the layout:
Chelsea (4-3-3): Cech, Bosingwa, Ivanovic, JT (c) Cole; Ramires, Essien (McEachran 79), Lampard, Anelka (Kalou 79), Drogba, Malouda (Sturridge 86).
Unused subs Turnbull, Ferreira, Bruma, Mikel.
Scorers Ivanovic 56, Anelka 76.
Booked Malouda 48.
Blackburn can eat my shorts ^__^ Chelsea is BAck in Action
Go Blues For the Win
Reactions flew high as goals were scored
Robinson reacted quickly to keep out a 25-yard Malouda shot in the final five minutes of normal time and Drogba almost defeated the former England stopper with a shot that dipped over the bar. Reactions were lost but the end result was that the game ended with a win to Chelsea
