Chelsea v Derby: Carabao Cup preview

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.

Re-live the action below:

Chelsea vs Derby

26 mins: Chelsea 2 - 2 Derby - Waghorn 

The last time Frank Lampard faced Derby at Stamford Bridge he scored 4 goals for Chelsea. Tonight his Derby side has scored 4 goals, sadly they've gifted two of them to Chelsea.

Another equaliser for Derby, they win a couple of throw ins on the left wing before Mason Mount finds some space to deliver a low cross in front of goal. It beats all the defenders and Waghorn meets it at the far post for an easy tap in.

Chelsea vs Derby

40 mins: Chelsea 3 - 2 Derby - Fabregas 

Chelsea score this time courtesy of a beautiful finish by Cesc Fabregas. Fabregas plays the ball into the box and Willian flicks it trying to find Zappacosta on the overlap. The ball comes off a defender and Loftus-Cheek keeps it alive. He crosses it and it's deflected into Fabregas' path and he makes no mistakes in putting the ball into the back of the net.

West Ham vs Tottenham

54 mins: West Ham 0 - 2 Tottenham - Son Heung-Min

Two goals now for Tottenham, two goals for Son Heung-Min, it's probably two goals too many for West Ham to get anything from this game now.

Arsenal vs Blackpool

66 mins: Arsenal 2 - 1 Blackpool - O'Connor

Is a Blackpool comeback on the cards?  Paudie O'Connor's header from a Jordan Thompson cross gives the Northern side a chance at redemption.

Arsenal vs Blackpool

Arsenal 2 - 1 Blackpool

Blackpool have a goal disallowed. Petr Cech tries to play out from the back and is tackled by Jay Spearing before the ball comes to Nathan Delfouneso who puts it in the back of the net.

But he's offside and the Gunners have a huge let off.
