Chelsea won an ill-tempered match 1-0 to move 11 points clear at the top.

A bad-tempered second half degenerated into a running battle between hot-headed Rovers striker Paul Dickov and Chelsea skipper John Terry, with ugly scuffles littering the closing stages.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho summed up the prickly encounter by saying: "It wasn't a good game of football, it was a fight".

The FA said on Friday that Chelsea and Blackburn had until February 21 to respond to the charge.
