Lampard began the game on the bench but came on because of a thigh injury for Oscar and scored his 15th goal of the season.
The win puts Chelsea provisionally into third place, although it could be passed by Arsenal again later in the afternoon.
Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech believes the battle for a place in next season’s Champions League will not be resolved until the final day of the season.
“The top-four fight is undecided and won’t be until the last game. For the neutral it will be exciting until the last day,” Cech said.
“We have a big game in every match we play. This is the way it goes. We have to take things step by step.” Looming is the home showdown with Tottenham on May 8 but David Luiz, the scorer of the last minute winning goal in Basle, warned it is too soon to target that clash as a potential decider in the race for the top four.
“We need to take three points in all the games. Spurs is one key game for us, but we need to play well in the other games too,” Luiz said.
“We need to keep focused for the future, particularly on Sunday against Swansea, because they have a very good team.
“You saw that in the semifinal of the League Cup. Of course we believe we will finish the season strongly.
“We have an opportunity for that. I want that and my teammates want that as well.” — AFP.
