Arsenal staged a second-half revival with Theo Walcott halving the deficit at a snowy Stamford Bridge but Chelsea hung on for only their second win in six home league games since Rafa Benitez was hired as interim manager.
Victory lifted third-placed Chelsea to 45 points from 23 games, 10 behind leaders Manchester United who were due to play Tottenham Hotspur in an evening fixture yesterday.
Mata scored after six minutes before Lampard made it 2-0 from the penalty spot after 16 minutes.
