Lampard struck with a diving header with 16 minutes gone, although the visitors were already leading 3-0 at the Riverside Stadium.

Salomon Kalou's double either side of Juliano Belletti's 51st-minute piledriver had effectively secured the points, but Lampard and Florent Malouda made sure as Boro wilted.

Despite missing the likes of Petr Cech, Didier Drogba and Ashley and Joe Cole, the Blues were in rampant form.

The only concern for boss Luiz Felipe Scolari will have been that as they went in at the break, they were only a goal to the good, Kalou pouncing on a loose ball to fire past Ross Turnbull after Andrew Taylor had blocked the impressive Belletti's 14th-minute shot.

Four minutes after half-time Turnbull could do nothing to keep Belletti's stinging 35-yard piledriver out of his top corner as Chelsea flexed their muscles once again.

The third goal arrived with 37 minutes still to play when Kalou claimed his second with the help of a wicked deflection off David Wheater, although Boro's misery was far from complete.

Kalou and Nicolas Anelka combined down the right with 63 minutes gone for the midfielder to send in an inviting cross for Lampard, whose diving header gave Turnbull no chance.

The Boro keeper's afternoon took a further turn for the worse with 66 minutes gone when he allowed Anelka's shot to squirm from his grasp, with the post serving a fifth up on a plate for the vigilant Malouda.
