Chelsea kept their title hopes alive after surviving an incredible
Bolton fightback in a seven-goal thriller at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea were 4-0 in front and cruising to victory when coach Guus
Hiddink replaced Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard in the 65th minute.
Two goals from Drogba, a Lampard penalty and Michael Ballack's first
league goal of the season had put Chelsea in total command.
But battling Bolton scored three times in 11 minutes through Andy
O'Brien, Chris Basham and Matt Taylor to give the Blues an almighty
scare.
The result leaves Chelsea just four points behind leaders Manchester
United at the top of the Barclays Premier League.
United also have a game in hand but Chelsea are determined to keep
the pressure on Sir Alex Ferguson's team.
