Chelsea gave Carlo Ancelotti a perfect tonic as they soared back
to the top of the Premier League with a 5-0 demolition of Blackburn
at Stamford Bridge.
Ancelotti, back in the dugout after visiting his seriously ill
father in Italy in midweek, watched his side produce a fabulous
performance against ragged Rovers to go two points clear at the
summit.
Chelsea destroyed Sam Allardyce's side with two goals from Frank
Lampard, one a penalty, plus others from Didier Drogba, Michael
Essien and an own goal from Gael Givet.
The game was so one-sided that had Chelsea taken all their first
half chances, the scoreline could have been in double figures. But
four goals in a 15-minute second half spell handed Rovers their
biggest defeat since Allardyce took charge at Ewood Park and kept
Ancelotti's 100% home record intact.
