Javi Garcia blew a golden chance to break the deadlock on 13 minutes when he headed straight at Petr Cech from seven yards out.
He picked up Silva's cross-box pass and rounded Joe Hart — but his touch was too heavy and the ball went out for a throw.
But the England keeper redeemed himself with a brilliant low save to his left as Lampard missed the chance to go to 200 goals for Chelsea.
Brazil ace Ramires ended up one-on-one with Kolo Toure in the box — and was pleading for a penalty when he appeared to be shoved.
And the City star did the rest by weaving through two defenders and teasing the ball over Gary Cahill's leg and into the bottom corner.
