Alex began the rout, tapping in when Marton Fulop allowed Joe Cole’s shot to squirm free, and it was quickly 2-0 when Anelka met Frank Lampard’s cross.

Florent Malouda unselfishly set up Anelka to add a third goal and Lampard headed in Cole’s cross to make it four.

Anelka fired home from Malouda’s cross to complete the scoring inside an hour.

Stamford Bridge may no longer be seen as a fortress after Liverpool’s victory there last weekend but, for Chelsea, this was the perfect riposte to seeing their 86-match unbeaten run ended in their last outing on home soil.

Blues boss Luiz Felipe Scolari voiced his concern before the game that his side have been struggling to break down sides who come to west London merely to defend.
