Derby C 0-2 Chelsea:Shaun Wright-Phillips scored his first goal for Chelsea for seven months to silence the Derby boo-boys who had turned on the Blues' England contingent after their midweek disaster.
Wright-Phillips, Frank Lampard and returning captain John Terry were all jeered and taunted but after Salomon Kalou had fired home the 18th-minute opener at Pride Park, Wright-Phillips sealed the points in the 73rd minute to send Chelsea up to fourth in the Barclays Premier League.
Derby manager was furious with Wright-Phillips goal which came from a Frank Lampard shot rebounding off the post.
Mlampard was set up by a tackle from behind on his young starlet Giles Barnes.
The game ended in contentious circumstances, with 75th-minute substitute Michael Essien dismissed for flailing his arm into the face of Kenny Miller.
