Blues and Wolves win
Carlo Ancelotti picked up his first Premier League away win as Chelsea were once again made to come from behind to claim a 3-1 victory at Sunderland.
Despite dominating the first half, the visitors went in at the break trailing to Darren Bent's second goal in as many games for Sunderland.
But once Michael Ballack had fired them back on level terms within seven minutes of the restart they never looked back.
Frank Lampard handed them the lead from the penalty spot nine minutes later and Deco's sweet 70th-minute strike proved more than enough to see off the Black Cats.
Striker Andy Keogh's header spoiled Wigan manager Roberto Martinez's 'homecoming' as Wolves outfought the hosts 1-0 to win at the DW Stadium.
The Republic of Ireland international glanced a sixth-minute header in off a post, having shot against the same upright moments earlier.
Keogh should also have had a penalty 11 minutes after half-time but was booked for diving after going down under Titus Bramble's challenge.
However, his goal was enough to give Mick McCarthy's side their first away victory in 30 Barclays Premier League matches.
It left Wigan manager Martinez to work out how to find a way to get his side to turn their vastly superior second-half possession into clear-cut chances.
