Alves was helpless just before the hour when Lampard scored from outside of the penalty area as the Valencia defense was again caught flat.

Valencia reacted with substitutes Pablo Piatti, Jonas Goncalvez and Sofianne Feghouli all coming into the game and Piatti and Feghouli caused problems for the Chelsea defense, before Jonas produced a fine save from Cech after a cheeky backheel from Sergio Canales.

Valencia drew level four minutes from time after Soldado scored a penalty which came as the result of a needless handball committed by Chelsea substitute Saloman Kalou following a corner.

Soldado stepped up and coolly sent Cech the wrong way from the penalty spot.

There was still time for Alves to make a further save from Nicolas Anelka, but the enduring memory was Mata receiving the applause from his former fans on the pitch at the end of the game.
