Andre Villas-Boas's side were in danger of being held to a draw by newly-promoted Norwich when Grant Holt punished a mistake from Blues goalkeeper Hilario to cancel out Jose Bosingwa's opener.
But Lampard ensured Chelsea won when he drove home a spot-kick with eight minutes remaining before Juan Mata marked his debutu00a0 with a goal in the final moments.
Drogba taken to hospital
Drogba, who was knocked out in a collision with Norwich goalkeeper John Ruddy and was carried off on a stretcher wearing what appeared to be a breathing aid after receiving treatment for seven minutes at Stamford Bridge, was taken to hospital after the match.
Blues boss Andre Villas-Boas revealed Drogba had remained unconscious "for quite some time" and he confirmed the 33-year-old had been taken to hospital for further examination.
"We are just waiting for the full exams on his concussion and hopefully nothing is wrong," Villas-Boas said. "He is showing some good signs of recovery for us to be a little bit more tranquil."
