Chelsea 2-1 Stoke

Colonel Ronan · Jan 17, 2009

Late goals from substitute Juliano Belletti and Frank Lampard spared Chelsea's blushes as they came from behind to beat a belligerent Stoke.

Rory Delap had earlier given City the lead, latching on to a James Beattie pass and chipping over Petr Cech.

But with three minutes to go Belletti popped up at the far post to head home a Franco Di Santo cross.

And deep into injury time Lampard lashed in a fierce drive from the edge of the area to earn Chelsea the win.

The ecstasy that greeted Lampard's winner, particularly the mobbing of manager Luis Felipe Scolari, was a clear expression of the spirit and unity that the Chelsea boss had called for from his players.

However, prior to the last five minutes it was Stoke who had shown arguably the greater desire and they will be bitterly disappointed to lose out on what would have been a famous result.
