Chelsea soar five clear

23 October 2010 19:30
Chelsea moved five points clear at the top of the Barclays Premier League thanks to goals from Florent Malouda and substitute Salomon Kalou as they beat Wolves 2-0. Malouda put Chelsea in front in the 23rd minute when he finished off a cross from Yury Zhirkov. Wolves wasted a number of chances to equalise before Kalou completed a move he began by slipping Michael Essien's pass under Wolves goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann 10 minutes from time. The defeat left Wolves still looking for their first win since the opening day of the season and second from bottom.
