Seven minutes into the match, Eden Hazard's shot took a deflection off Luna and made it 1-0 to the home side, before Benteke's goal came from a pass by the brilliant Gabriel Agbonlahor. Ivanovic scored the winner after converting a Frank Lampard freekick.<br />

Branislav Ivanovic was the center of attention moments before scoring his goal, after elbowing Benteke and only receiving a yellow card. The opponents argued he should have been sent off.&nbsp;<br />

The visitors had a penalty shout turned out after John Terry appeared to handle a header by Agbonlahor.
