The three penalty of Frank Lampard took the Blues 4 points clear at the top of the Barclays Premier League and also the West Ham was avoided by dropping to the bottom after a 1-1 draw. Alessandro Diamanti had put the home side, just before the half-time, in the front from the spot after Ashley Cole had brought down Jack Collison.
Frank Lampard managed to equalise after an hour when Matthew Upson was controversially judged to have fouled Daniel Sturridge. Lampard was forced to take the spot-kick thrice after the referee saw players encroaching.
The Blues may have taken the lead after the twenty-second minutes when the power header of Branislav Ivanovic from a corner was very well chested off the line by Scott Parker.
However, the West Ham took the lead and everyone said as if they deserve it, even though it was through the penalty spot.
The team West Ham was undone in the second-half. The dodgy refereeing decision pointed to the spot when Matthew Upson tackled Daniel Sturridge, substitute of Chelsea. It seemed that as if he took the ball.
Well, no issue. Frank Lampard took the spot kick and he scored.
