Chelsea won at Bolton for the seventh league game in succession
to stamp their hold on top spot in the Barclays Premier League.
Beaten in their last two away games, there was no chance of the
west Londoners suffering a third against the hosts, who had Jlloyd
Samuel sent off.
Chelsea have now scored eight goals in four days against Gary Megson's
team, and were brutally destructive when confronted with a team
a man down.
It was hard enough for Bolton when they had 11 on the park, but
they were just victims for Chelsea to bully after Samuel's red card.
Frank Lampard's penalty in first-half injury-time set up this win,
with the key moment being Samuel's red card for the trip on Didier
Drogba which conceded the spot-kick.
Bolton worked feverishly but it was always a losing battle. Deco
added the second and Zat Knight's own goal made it 3-0, before Didier
Drogba grabbed a fourth in injury-time.
