Bolton 0-4 Chelsea

Chelsea appear to have corrected their habit of conceding goals at set-pieces and, with it, their vulnerability away from home.After two successive away league defeats, Chelsea can now boast two clean sheets and plenty of goals against Bolton, whose dead-ball repertoire can cause even the best defences problems, though the home side were handicapped by having to play with 10 men for the whole of the second half after Jlloyd Samuel's dismissal.After leaking eight goals to Chelsea in the space of four days, Bolton will just be glad to get back to playing less stellar teams once a week – and so will Jussi Jaaskelainen, without whom the score might have reached double figures.There were chances at both ends in a surprisingly open first half, with Jaaskelainen denying Didier Drogba on three separate occasions and Kevin Davies and Johan Elmander going close for the home side, though all the excitement came right at the end.Just as a single minute of stoppage time was being announced, Bolton lost concentration for a second and let Chelsea come storming through the middle, swiftly turning defence into attack through Deco and Michael Ballack, and getting Drogba in on the move, in space behind the home central defenders.Bolton could only chase and, as Drogba entered the area and shaped to shoot, his heel was clipped by Samuel. The Chelsea striker collapsed in a heap – though he did not deserve the chants of "cheat" aimed at him by the Reebok crowd – Samuel saw straight red and trudged towards the tunnel, and Frank Lampard stepped up to score from the penalty spot with a neat shot, low into the left corner.Chelsea just about deserved their interval lead on the balance of play, yet going behind in such a manner was slightly cruel on Bolton.Although Gary Cahill made a couple of rare and potentially expensive mistakes at the back, they had denied Chelsea any clear-cut chances from open play.Until the home side went down to 10 men, this was nothing like the one-sided rout at Stamford Bridge in the Carling Cup in midweek, but Bolton learned, once again, that you cannot take your eyes off Chelsea for a second.Bolton had to reorganise slightly for the second half, bringing on Paul Robinson and Ricardo Gardner, and abandoning their attempts to replicate Chelsea's midfield diamond.They displayed more urgency as they set off in search of an equaliser, yet, inevitably, left gaps at the back for Chelsea to exploit. This they eagerly did and Jaaskelainen had already made three more saves from Drogba – and seen Lampard crash a shot against his crossbar – before Deco took Nicolas Anelka's pass and nonchalantly stepped around Robinson to make the points safe with half an hour remaining.Mercifully for Bolton, those minutes passed fairly uneventfully, with only a late Branislav Ivanovic goal from Ricardo Carvalho's exquisite cross underlining the quality difference until Drogba finally beat Jaaskelainen to bring a certain symmetry to the scoreline in the closing seconds.Premier LeagueBolton WanderersChelseaPaul Wilsonguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2009 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds
