Match Events
5'OWN GOAL! Chelsea 1-0 Derby County (Tomori)
A DISASTROUS START FOR DERBY! 1-0 CHELSEA! It's a head in hands moment for the Chelsea loanee Tomori, as a horrible miskick sees him turn Zappacosta's cross into his own net! A horendous moment for the 20-year-old to gift his parent club the lead!
9'GOAL! Chelsea 1-1 Derby County (Marriott)
DERBY ARE RIGHT BACK IN IT! 1-1! What a response from the visitors! It's something of a gift as Cahill, a former team-mate of Lampard, gives the ball away with a dreadful pass, before then slipping to allow Huddlestone to play Marriott through on goal, and the striker makes no mistake finishing coolly into the bottom corner! Parity restored!
21'OWN GOAL! Chelsea 2-1 Derby County (Keogh)
ANOTHER OWN GOAL! CHELSEA LEAD 2-1! This is absolutely stunning! Derby are the architects of their own downfall yet again! It's a near replica of the opener, instead this time it's Keogh who scuffs a clearance on the end of Zappacosta's cross, leaving Carson wrong-footed as Chelsea are gifted yet another lead!
27'GOAL! Chelsea 2-2 Derby County (Waghorn)
Rinse, repeat! That's been the story of this first half at Stamford bridge! Derby concede an own goal and then minutes later they pull themselves back in it - this time Waghorn simply couldn't miss from five yards on the end of Mount's delicious delivery from the left, following a terrific team move down the flank.
41'GOAL! Chelsea 3-2 Derby County (Fabregas)
CHELSEA BACK IN FRONT YET AGAIN! Fabregas makes it 3-2! A Loftus-Cheek cross eventually falls kindly for Fabregas, who sees his first-time effort take a slight deflection off the chest of Tomori, and it's enough to see it beyond Carson! This one isn't an own goal, but Derby can't catch a break in defence!
60' CHANCE! Cahill's header saved
Critical save from Carson! Chelsea's sixth corner of the match results in a free header for Cahill, but his effort from point-blank range is parried by Carson, who keeps Derby within reach!
Match Report
Chelsea overcame a Halloween fright on Frank Lampard's return as two own goals cost Derby County in a 3-2 loss in the EFL Cup on Wednesday.
Impressive in beating Manchester United in the third round, Lampard's young side were the architects of their own downfall in London as Chelsea loanee Fikayo Tomori and Richard Keogh both put through their own net inside 21 minutes.
The hosts were not immune to horror moments at the back, with Jack Marriott and Martyn Waghorn on target in a thrilling five-goal first half that concluded with Cesc Fabregas restoring his team's lead.
