Chelsea cut Manchester United's lead at the top of the Premier
League to one point with an impressive 5-0 hammering of crisis club
Portsmouth at Fratton Park.
A David James howler allowed Didier Drogba to tap into an empty
net for Chelsea's opener before Florent Malouda grabbed two second-half
goals in 10 minutes.
Drogba's neat finish and Lampard's late goal sealed the win against
a Portsmouth side now one step closer to almost certain relegation.
Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti handed Daniel Sturridge a surprise
start as the Blues looked to close the gap on United and atone for
their Champions League exit to Inter Milan last week.
