Ancelotti grounded after victory

23 October 2010 20:00
Chelsea coach Carlo Ancelotti refused to get carried away after the Blues went five points clear at the top of the Barclays Premier League with a 2-0 victory over Wolves at Stamford Bridge. A goal in each half - from Florent Malouda and substitute Salomon Kalou - settled a contest which left Wolves still searching for their first win since the opening day of the season. Mick McCarthy's side are now second bottom although they had enough chances to have taken something from the game. But while Chelsea continue to lead the pack at the top of the table, Ancelotti insisted it was still too early to talk about titles and warned they will go through a difficult patch at some point in the season. "It was a tough game because we didn't play so well," conceded Ancelotti. "We had a lot of chances before the second goal. We didn't play as well as we normally have done this season. It is a good advantage but tomorrow if might be different. It is too early to say we have enough points. We have started the season well and have to continue that. A difficult moment will arrive for us and we have to be ready. "So in that respect it was very good result and leaves us in a good position. It was a difficult week because of the travel to Moscow for the Champions League game against Spartak. We were not 100%. It is important to win when you are not 100%. We did not play our best."
