Chelsea head coach Luiz Felipe Scolari enjoyed a perfect start to his Stamford Bridge reign as the Blues thrashed Portsmouth 4-0.

First-half goals from Joe Cole, Nicolas Anelka and Frank Lampard put Scolari's side in total charge, before debutant Deco rounded off the day with a superb long-range strike.

Brazilian Scolari said after the victory: "Portsmouth, after five or ten minutes didn't think we'd play like we were and we were more aggressive than last season. I think they were surprised by our team.

"The perfect start and more than I expected.

"In the last game against Portsmouth, we had many difficulties, too many. Today we won 4-0.

"The Chelsea fans saw a beautiful game and three points. We have to keep this going. We can. Every game, every week, I don't know, but we'll try.

"Manchester United will not be scared. They are not our opponents next week, maybe Wigan will be."
