What a difference a week has made for Chelsea boss Frank Lampard as his side cemented their place in the top four with a swaggering 4-0 rout of Everton. Just eight days ago, the Blues needed a late equaliser just to escape with a draw at lowly Bournemouth - a dispiriting result on the back of their Champions League last 16 first leg humiliation against Bayern Munich. For the first time in his reign, the critics were sharpening their knives for Lampard after a run of five wins in 16 Premier League games. But Tuesday's FA Cup fifth round win over Liverpool lifted the mood at just the right time and Chelsea followed that with an even more emphatic result against Everton.
