Bolton Wanderers against Chelsea

Chris Eagles almost scores a spectacular consolation goal for Bolton, rattling Petr Cech's post with a long-range piledriver.

Sturridge wastes a glorious chance to seal his hat-trick. Drogba does well to pull the ball back to his strike partner, but Sturridge drags his shot wide from the edge of the six-yard box.

Looking at further replays, Kevin Davies' shot was almost certainly over the line before Ivanovic blocked. Unlucky for Bolton, but it hardly matters.

Didier Drogba attempting an ambitious Van Basten-esque volley as the ball floats across towards him, the execution is poor and his mishits his shot straight to Bogdan.

Branislav Ivanovic spectacularly clears off the line from Davies! Petrov found space behind Ashley Cole, got to the byline and teed up Davies, his shot blocked by the Serbian. Replays show it possibly had already crossed the line, but Ivanovic did fantastically well.

It's worth mentioning that Chelsea have scored five without Fernando Torres.

It's starting to click into gear for Andre Villas-Boas,Chelsea look clinical and Frank Lampard's return to form has been timely.

Bolton are now staring their 11th defeat in 12 matches in the face, what can Owen Coyle do to turn this around?

<b>HALF TIME</b> Bolton's season lurches from misery to misery, silence greeting the two teams as the half-time whistle is blown. A pair of braces from one-time Bolton loanee Sturridge and Frank Lampard have done the job for Chelsea.
