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.

Hello, and welcome to our coverage of all the action from tonight's Carabao Cup fourth round fixtures. We'll bring you up to date team news as well as live coverage from all four games:
Arsenal vs Blackpool (7.45pm)
Chelsea vs Derby County (7.45pm)
West Ham vs Tottenham (7.45pm)
Middlesbrough vs Crystal Palace (8.00pm)
Arsenal vs Blackpool
A lot can happen in 8 years, read Luke Brown's story about Blackpool's last visit to the Emirates and the seeming decline that has happened to the club since.
Chelsea vs Derby
Frank Lampard and his Derby side came up against Jose Mourinho and Manchester United in the third round and brushed them aside with a spectacular performance.
Tonight Lampard returns to Stamford Bridge, can he inflict another upset but this time on his old club?
West Ham vs Tottenham
This is the second year running in which West Ham have faced Tottenham in the Carabao Cup fourth round.
Last time they came from 2-0 behind to win 3-2 at Wembley. Have they got a repeat performance in store tonight?
Middlesbrough vs Crystal Palace
The facts make for interesting reading in this match up between North and South.
Middlesbrough have lost their last three matches against Crystal Palace, all of them in the league with the most recent coming in the 2016/17 Premier League season.
Palace also won the League Cup match up between the sides, in September 2011, winning 2-1 at Selhurst Park.
However they have reached the League Cup quarter-final just once in their last 15 attempts, doing so in 2011/12.
Roy Hodgson also has a poor record against Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium, he was never won there in three previous attempts, drawing once and losing twice.
Chelsea vs Derby
Who remembers this stunner from Derby's third round victory over Manchester United? Another one of these tonight could throw the cat amongst the pigeons...
