Cole is different class - Lampard

Cole started his first Premier League match since suffering a knee injury against Southend in January and Lampard was delighted to see his England team-mate back in the side.[LNB]He told ESPN: "He is different class. I think everyone knows what Coley brings us, he is something different, he runs with the ball and he can create something out of nothing."[LNB]Cole added: "When you're out for 10 months just getting back on the training pitch is great so to come back to a game like that was fantastic. I'm just so happy to be playing."[LNB]The Blues only led 1-0 at half-time thanks to a Gael Givet own goal after squandering a host of chances.[LNB]But four second-half goals inside 15 minutes - two for Lampard and one each for[LNB]Didier Drogba and Michael Essien, handed Sam Allardyce his biggest defeat since he took charge at Ewood Park.[LNB]For Lampard it took him to three goals in two games after going 10 games without scoring.[LNB]Lampard added: "In the end we had to work for it. Blackburn are a difficult team to play against. Once we broke the deadlock and pushed on at the start of the second half that was it.[LNB]"Sometimes you have to wait for them, you go through those patches."[LNB]It was a positive response to the defeat at Aston Villa last weekend, when Chelsea were beaten by two goals from set-pieces.[LNB]Lampard said: "We were disappointed after last week. We wanted to bounce back and we did it in style."[LNB][LNB]
