Chelsea opened up an eight-point lead at the top of the Premier
League with a 4-0 demolition of woeful Wolves at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues were three goals to the good inside the first 22 minutes
through Florent Malouda and a double from Michael Essien.
Joe Cole's first goal for 13 months completed the rout in the second
half as Chelsea set a new club record for home wins and kept Wolves
entrenched in the bottom three.
The victory over Wolves was their 12th in a row in all competitions
at home - the previous record was 11 between February 25 and September
17, 2006.
The clean sheet also saw them equal their record of 10 consecutive
games without conceding at home.
