Chelsea found their old ruthless streak as they dispatched Bolton 4-0 in the Premier League at The Reebok Stadium on Monday night.
The Blues banished their away-day blues and narrowed the gap on Premier League leaders Manchester United to seven points with this emphatic victory.
Goals from Didier Drogba, Florent Malouda, Nicolas Anelka and Ramires gave manager Carlo Ancelotti the result he craved.
It was Chelsea's first win on the road since October and even though United have a game in hand Ancelotti must have renewed hope they can go on and retain their crown.
