MATCH REPORT: CHELSEA 3 HUDDERSFIELD 1

Goals number 100 and 101 for Frank Lampard plus a second-half strike by the returning Salomon Kalou eased Chelsea into the FA Cup quarter-finals.

On the day John Terry was back playing 90 minutes and Frank Sinclair performed well on his emotional return as a Huddersfield player, it was our midfield goalscoring phenomenon who deservedly wriote all the headlines after becoming the eighth centurion in the club's history.

It was his second goal that put Chelsea back into the lead after the visitors from League One had snatched an equaliser out of the blue before the break. But the goal was not sufficient to knock the Premier League players out of their stride, and we were good value for the win.

John Terry's recovery was so ahead of schedule that he was able to start the game and Avram Grant took the opportunity to give a well-earned rest to several of the players who had carried the side through the period since Christmas.

It was two of the players brought in that manufactured Chelsea's first shot and won our first corner - Pizarro feeding Sidwell for a shot deflected wide.

On six minutes, in a tale of two Sinclairs, Kalou bundled through a tackle by Frank Sinclair and picked out Scott Sinclair who must have thought his shot was on its way in until Williams appeared to scoop the ball out from under the bar. Pizarro headed the corner at the keeper.

Scott Sinclair had started on the right of Pizarro, his less accustomed side, with Kalou on the left.

Chelsea were not allowing Huddersfield out of their half in these early stages and on 15 minutes, a scuffed Lampard free-kick rebounded to the feet of Sidwell but he blasted over.

There was no such mistake from Lampard on the 17th minutes for a milestone moment when Sinclair's cross deflected off Holdsworth into his path. From 12 yards out he guided it into the corner and celebrated by drawing '100' in the air as Stamford Bridge stood for a prolonged ovation.

It continued to be constant Chelsea without anyone truly threatening Glennon's goal. The keeper pushed one tame shot from Lampard out and a cross skimmed off Pizarro into harmless territory.

On 37 minutes, the visitors at last broke their shackles to win a corner. Cudicini's punch fell to Clarke whose shot was hooked off the line by a correctly positioned John Terry.

With four minutes to go before the break, Chelsea crafted the best chance to score since the goal - Sinclair and Pizarro the architects, but a tumbling Kalou skied his effort.

Given the one-way nature of the first-half, Huddersfield's equaliser a minute before the whistle must have startled quite a few spectators out of making their interval refreshment plans.

It came from a chip by Berrett out to the left where suddenly, Collins was in position outside Ferreira and onside. The finish was composed and precise, between Cudicini and his near-post. The fans from Yorkshire enjoyed their break.

As if a sign to the his team-mates, the second-half began with Terry sprinting 60 yards up the pitch with the ball, but Pizarro chose not to return a pass and the attack fizzled out.

Chelsea's Sinclair had a shot that lost power as it struck a defender and the keeper caught safely. Then the Blues had the ball in the net from Kalou after Glennon had saved twice from Terry at a corner - but the offside flag was correctly raised.

Time to send for Lampard. Collecting the ball after Kalou had combined with Mikel, he too saw the keeper save his first right-foot effort but reached the ball with his left foot to turn it in off the post. There were 59 minutes on the clock.

Having seen two Lampard goals, the Bridge crowd was now treated to a second ruled out for offside, Sinclair the man denied this time after a snaking run and saved shot by Pizarro.

Goal number three came with 21 minutes remaining and it was a quality strike from Kalou, aided by a Lampard pass. Not quite up to the standard of his African Nations solo special, he nevertheless left Clarke all at sea before firing in off the keeper's legs.

Both managers rang the changes in the closing stages, including a return to action for Shevchenko, but the scoring opportunities dried up, apart from a Huddersfield free-kick just wide in stoppage time.

A club record run of 59 home games undefeated in all competitions has been set. Our sixth round opponents will be drawn on Monday lunchtime.
