Signing African players has always represented something of a gamble for Premier League bosses.

As well as the player's pedigree and their ability to adapt to new surroundings, the manager must also consider whether losing them to the African Cup of Nations for up to six weeks will unbalance his team's equilibrium.

It was not a vintage Chelsea performance, and they need a late penalty from Frank Lampard to secure a 2-1 win over last-place Portsmouth, but Chelsea once again have a three-point lead at the top of the Premier League.

Chelsea had led through a 23rd-minute goal by Nicolas Anelka but when Frederic Piquionne equalized for Pompey, you could feel the tension rise within Stamford Bridge.

Mini match report: After just seven minutes, Cesc Fabregas showed composure and persistance to open the scoring with a low, accurate shot, before Graham Alexander equalised from the penalty spot after Thomas Vermaelen had felled Andre Bikey in the box. Fabregas tweaked his hamstring and was taken off just before half-time; in the second half, deprived of their creative leader, the Gunners struggled as Burnley created several decent chances.
