Chelsea earned a place in the fifth round of the FA Cup as Michael Ballack`s brace and a terrific 35-yard free-kick from Frank Lampard saw off Ipswich 3-1.

But the Blue’s again made hard work of overcoming lower-league opposition in a domestic cup competition.

Chelsea had already been sent out of the Carling Cup on penalties by Burnley and were taken to a replay in this competition by Coca-Cola League One side Southend.

It had looked like being an easy afternoon for the Blues against Championship side Ipswich when Ballack put dominant Chelsea in front in the 16th minute.

But their failure to defend at set-pieces cost them again when Alex Bruce levelled matters before the break. But Chelsea did score some for themselves, which eventually sealed the match.

Chelsea 1-0 Ipswich
