Bolton 0-4 Chelsea

[Admin]

Chelsea seal a second successive 4-0 victory over Bolton to march on at the top of the Premier League table.

90+1 Elmander slams an effort wide but the final whistle cannot come quickly enough for Bolton.

89 GOAL Chelsea push forward and Drogba slots home a late fourth after a slick display of one-touch football.

87 Lampard has a chance to score his second of the afternoon after a terrific Chelsea break but he slices wide from Deco's cut-back.

85 Bolton have offered very little as an attacking force in the second half and it is difficult to see them grabbing a consolation.

83 Bolton's supporters are streaming out of the Reebok Stadium after a disappointing afternoon that had promised so much.

82 GOAL Carvalho sends over a delightful cross with the outside of his boot and Ivanovic just gets in front of Knight to turn the ball home, although it is hard to tell if that might go down as an own goal.

80 Ferreira receives a yellow card for a foul on Mark Davies just outside the area.

79 Ancelotti has still not made a change. I wonder if there will be a late appearance for the likes of Cole or Sturridge.

77 Anelka seems desperate to get a goal as he decides to go it alone rather than pass to a team-mate, but his effort is tame and Jaaskelainen makes a straightforward stop.

75 Bolton just cannot get anywhere near the ball at present and Chelsea look like they are taking part in a training session.

73 The urgency has gone out of this game now with both sides just going through the motions. We probably need a Bolton goal to make this an interesting spectacle for the closing stages.

71 Drogba sends over a dangerous cross from the left but Robinson wins the aerial battle in the centre and heads it behind for a corner.

69 Ivanovic does well to clear a cross and Chelsea will be determined to stay focused and keep a clean sheet.

68 Essien tries an ambitious shot from distance but fails to work Jaaskelainen.

67 Jaaskelainen has been kept busy all afternoon but this is a more routine save from Carvalho's looping header.

66 Megson makes his third and final change as Muamba is withdrawn and Mark Davies enters the fray.

65 Chelsea enjoy a sustained period of possession as they make Bolton chase shadows in midfield.

63 Surely there is no way back for Bolton now and the crowd is certainly more subdued following Deco's goal.

61 GOAL Deco doubles Chelsea's advantage after receiving a pass from Anelka and cutting back onto his left to shoot calmly past Jaaskelainen.

60 Terry has struggled to cope with Davies at times today but he does well on this occasion to clear a dangerous cross behind for a corner.

59 Bolton are well and truly under the cosh now as Anelka stings the palms of Jaaskelainen with a powerful strike.

57 Anelka's shot from 12 yards is deflected wide and, from the resulting corner, Lampard crashes a stunning effort againt the crossbar.

56 Jaaskelainen pulls off another good save from Drogba before Robinson is booked for a wild challenge.

55 Drogba has a chance to put Chelsea 2-0 up despite appeals that he used an arm to control the ball. Jaaskelainen stays big and makes another good save.

53 Cohen causes problems yet again but Essien charges back and boots the ball away to safety. Great defending.

52 Drogba finds Deco on the edge of the area but the Portuguese playmaker only succeeds in scuffing his effort wide.

51 Credit has to go to Bolton for the effort they are putting in at the start of the second half but will they soon begin to tire?

50 Cohen steps up for a free-kick 25 yards out but blazes his shot high over the crossbar and the ball has probably gone into orbit.

49 Cohen skips past a couple of challenges before testing Cech from close range.

48 Ivanovic is fine to continue as Drogba drives in a low effort from a tight angle that is well held by Jaaskelainen.

47 Robinson's first involvement is to foul Ivanovic and the Chelsea full-back requires a bit of attention.

46 The second half starts and Bolton have made a double change, with Gardner and Robinson coming on for Lee and Basham.

Neil has been in touch to predict a 3-0 win for Chelsea and says it will be a case of damage limitation for Bolton from now on. Remember to contact us at Lewis.Rutledge@bskyb.com.

Bolton may be down to ten men but can they can they get back into this in the second half? Chelsea are now unbackable at 1/25, with Bolton 66/1 and the draw 10/1.

The half-time whistle goes and the whole complexion of the match has been changed by that penalty incident just before the break.

45 GOAL Lampard, who I had forgotten was on the pitch, steps up and sends Jaaskelainen the wrong way.

44 The referee has no choice but to send off Samuel for his cynical challenge.

44 PENALTY Drogba is brought down by Samuel and the referee points to the penalty spot.

43 Elmander has another go and this time his shot is deflected away for a corner by a brave Carvalho.

42 Elmander comes close with a shot from the edge of the area that flies just over the crossbar. There certainly has not been a shortage of attemps so far in this match.

40 Drogba cuts in from the left and unleashes a powerful strike which Cahills feels the force of as he throws his body on the line.

39 Cahill tries an ambitious volley from distance but it is not a bad effort as it sails just a foot or so over the crossbar.

33 Bolton push forward again but it is a poor final ball from Basham which goes straight through to Cech.

32 Davies is presented with a glorious chance to fire Bolton ahead but he puts his effort wide from the edge of the area.

30 The ball is finally in the back of the Bolton net but Ivanovic's powerful strike is disallowed, apparently because Ballack was stood in an offside position and blocking Jaaskelainen's view.

29 Anelka lets fly with a long-range effort but fails to test Jaaskelainen on this occasion.

27 Jaaskelainen pulls off another good save down to his left from Ferreira's cross but, incredibly, a goal-kick is awarded rather than a corner.

26 Ivanovic wriggles away from Samuel down the Chelsea right and bursts into the Bolton box but Knight covers well with a strong block.

24 Muamba has been excellent so far and he makes an important interception to disrupt another Chelsea attack.

23 Bolton enjoy a good spell which results in Cohen scuffing a shot straight at Cech.

22 Davies has already been spoken to by the referee but he commits another foul with a push on Essien.

21 Chelsea are nearly gifted an opening goal as Cahill slips on the edge of the box but Jaaskelainen is off his line quickly to smother Drogba's shot.

20 Cohen has caused a few problems already and he works Cech again with a header from Davies' cross.

19 Samuel charges down the left but runs the ball out of play as Bolton look to weather the storm.

18 Bolton made such a bright start but they are now sitting back and allowing Chelsea to dominate.

16 Chelsea are really starting to apply the pressure now as Essien blazes a ferocious effort from the edge of the box narrowly over the crossbar.

15 Jaaskelainen comes to Bolton's rescue from the resulting corner as he acrobatically tips a Drogba header over.

14 Jaaskelainen is tested for the first time as he gets down low to his left to keep out a rasping effort from Anelka.

10 Ivanovic shows a surprising turn of pace to get to the byline and pull back a threatening low cross that is well dealt with by Cahill.

8 Chelsea suddenly show signs of life with a slick attack but Knight gets a crucial deflection on the ball to break up the move.

7 Bolton have been enjoying most of the early possession but it has also been very stop-start with a number of fouls and free-kicks.

6 Chelsea push forward for the first time but Ivanovic's right-wing cross is cleared by Cahill.

5 Basham tries to pick out Davies but they are on different wavelengths as the ball trickles through harmlessly to Cech.

4 Muamba slides in with a crunching tackle on Deco. It should be an interesting duel between those two.

3 There have been a few sloppy touches already from Chelsea, who have definitely not settled.

2 Bolton win an early free-kick in a dangerous position and there is an early scare for Chelsea as Cohen heads over from Lee's cross.

1 Bolton get the game underway and the word is they will be lining up in a diamond formation to match Chelsea.

Given Chelsea's form of late, it wont be a surprise to hear that we've laid Chelsea in almost every accumulator going this weekend. We are just praying a Champions League distraction could come to our aid this weekend. For the scorers, Terry and Lampard are proving more popular than the strikers, with Anelka actually a pretty good result for Skybet if he could open the scoring. Bolton are at 15/2 for the win with Chelsea 4/9.

Chelsea: Cech, Ivanovic, Carvalho, Terry, Ferreira, Essien, Ballack, Lampard, Deco, Anelka, Drogba. Subs: Turnbull, Joe Cole, Malouda, Sturridge, Alex, Belletti, Borini.

Welcome to our minute-by-minute commentary of Bolton's Premier League match against Chelsea. The two sides met in the Carling Cup in midweek and it was the Blues who came out convincing winners at Stamford Bridge. Carlo Ancelotti's men will now be looking stretch their lead at the top of the table but they have suffered a couple of defeats away from home in recent weeks. Bolton, meanwhile, have been playing well apart from the Carling Cup slip-up and will fancy their chances of getting something to consolidate their position in mid-table.
