Four-star Blues sink Trotters

Chelsea claimed a 4-0 victory over Bolton to maintain their hold of top spot in the Barclays Premier League.Beaten in their last two away games, there was no chance of the west Londoners suffering a third against the hosts, who had Jlloyd Samuel sent off.Chelsea have now scored eight goals in four days against Gary Megson's team, and were brutally destructive when confronted with a team a man down.It was hard enough for Bolton when they had 11 on the park, but they were just victims for Chelsea to bully after Samuel's red card.Frank Lampard's penalty in first-half injury-time set up the win, with the key moment being Samuel's red card for the trip on Didier Drogba which conceded the spot-kick.Deco added the second, Zat Knight's own-goal made it 3-0 and Drogba grabbed a fourth in injury-time.
