Off the line! A terrible corner from Bolton but Chelsea fail to clear it and Gary Cahill's volley is cleared off the line by a combination of three Chelsea defenders. So close!

Have Chelsea weathered the storm? They seem to have stifled the last few Bolton attacks with heroic defending but they should have to defend like this having been 4-0 up.

Ricardo Gardner has maybe just had the chance Bolton needed. The Jamaican cuts inside Ivanovic but he fires over when faced with Cech - Gary Megson still shows no emotion.

Anelka has half a chance to surely end the argument but he fires straight at Jaaskelainen from the edge of the box - Bolton immediately lump it as far forward as they can.

Chelsea have managed to steady, slightly, what was a very rocky ship a moment ago but Bolton still look dangerous.

Chelsea are hanging on by a thread now. Did anyone envisage this when Drogba made it 4-0? I thought not.

Bolton threatening again with Davies heading over from the edge of the box - maybe there is more in this game now.

Bolton look a shadow of the side that matched Chelsea stride for stride in the first half now and the Blues could run up any score here now.

Penalty to Chelsea! Lampard drives into the box and his shot hits Steinsson on the arm and referee Walton awards a penalty.

It has become a bit of an onslaught now with Lampard again forcing a save from Jaaskelainen.

Chelsea really dominating proceedings now as Mikel and Kalou both go close within a matter of moments to trebling the lead.

The news gets even better for Chelsea now as Sunderland equalise against Manchester United - that news causes a huge cheer from the home fans.

The Blues fans are much more comfortable now their team have a 2-0 lead and Hiddink may soon think about replacing players ahead of the Champions League tie on Tuesday.

Bolton appear to be threatening quite a lot with long throws as Davies flicks on for McCann this time but his volley is well wide.

Half a chance for Bolton to equalise as Davies flicks Taylor's free-kick on towards Elmander whose swivelling volley goes wide.

The fans are suddenly a bit more relaxed now as Chelsea settle into a nice rhythm after taking the lead, but Bolton are resilient and will surely come again.

Lampard is the only Chelsea player threatening to open up the Bolton backline as he tries his luck with another rasping long-range drive that has Jaaskelainen beaten but it dips just too late.

Hiddink's side are finally beginning to dominate possession as they take the upper hand in the midfield battle as Jon Obi Mikel decides to actually try and get involved.

Half an hour gone at the Bridge and Cech has been the busier of the two keepers, but only slightly, as the defences are well on top for now.

Bolton look very solid so far with Drogba completely ineffectual in attack, however it will only take one loss of concentration to gift the Ivorian a chance.

Lampard with a Ronaldoesque free-kick that dips and swerves horribly before bouncing in front of Jaaskelainen but the Bolton stopper does superbly to parry away.

Bolton are certainly not parking the bus today. Fabrice Miuamba is the latest to drive forward from midfield and fire a shot wide of Petr Cech's goal.

After Liverpool's victory earlier, this game has taken even greater importance for the Blues with the news that Manchester United lead at Sunderland - good news for Bolton though.

That perennial danger from the edge of the box, Frank Lampard, almost grabs himself yet another goal but Jussi Jaaskelainen is equal to his stinging drive.

Bolton almost break the deadlock with a long range effort from Kevin Davies that bounces a fraction wide of the far post.

A bit of a lull in proceedings at the Bridge now as the game becomes a midfield battle with McCann and Muamba getting themselves tight to Lampard and Ballack in particular.

Bolton with a quick break and Davies feeds the ball into the right channel for Elmander who fires a low shot into the side netting. Cech seemed to have it covered though.

Chelsea starting to take a little bit of control now as Lampard and Ballack begin to stretch the Bolton midfield with clever passing moves.

Chelsea have a chance to build some pressure with a free-kick but Drogba climbs all over Taylor and gives away a needless free-kick himself.

Apparently first impressions mean nothing these days as Bolton create the first opening with Taylor's cross forcing Cech into a diving save to prevent Davies tapping home.

If first impressions are anything to go by then Bolton are going to sit back and allow Chelsea plenty of possession.
