WEST BROM 0 - CHELSEA 3

Chelsea roared back to the top of the Premier League table on Saturday
evening as Nicolas Anelka continued his prolific form to take them
back to the top of the Barclays Premier League following a 3-0 win at
West Brom. Portuguese full-back Jose Bosingwa opened the scoring for
Luiz Felipe Scolari's side, before Nicolas Anelka wrapped up the
points with a brace before the interval.

Anelka's double took his tally to 12 league goals for the season and
eight in the last four games. The Blues also equalled Tottenham's
48-year-old record with a 10th successive away win in the top flight.
The Blues had numerous opportunities to stretch their lead after the
break but, with the result already beyond doubt, they were ultimately
let down by some wayward finishing.

Despite the comfortable win, captain John Terry will need a scan on
his foot injury to determine whether he can join up with Fabio
Capello's squad for Wednesday's friendly international with Germany.
