- 93'
<b>FULL TIME</b> Chelsea 5-1 Bolton. A Frank Lampard hat-trick and a brace from Daniel Sturridge keep Chelsea moving in the right direction. As for Bolton, they continue to plunge the depths. Rock bottom and truly awful at times today.
- 92'
Bolton fans beginning to stream out of the ground, who can blame them?
- 91'
Anelka almost in again after a neat combination with Meireles. Gary Cahill strongly in to dispossess Anelka on the edge of the penalty area.
- 90'
<b>THREE MINUTES ADDED TIME</b>
- 89'
Drogba almost provides Anelka with a goal against his former club, Bogdan out to gather the throughball before the Frenchman can strike.
- 88'
Daniel Sturridge is desperate for a third goal, cutting inside a slicing his shot horribly wide of the far post. Drogba is furious and wanted a lay-off.
- 86'
Chris Eagles almost scores a spectacular consolation goal for Bolton, rattling Petr Cech's post with a long-range piledriver.
- 85'
Sturridge wastes a glorious chance to seal his hat-trick. Drogba does well to pull the ball back to his strike partner, but Sturridge drags his shot wide from the edge of the six-yard box.
- 84'
Looking at further replays, Kevin Davies' shot was almost certainly over the line before Ivanovic blocked. Unlucky for Bolton, but it hardly matters.
- 82'
Didier Drogba attempting an ambitious Van Basten-esque volley as the ball floats across towards him, the execution is poor and his mishits his shot straight to Bogdan.
- 80'
Branislav Ivanovic spectacularly clears off the line from Davies! Petrov found space behind Ashley Cole, got to the byline and teed up Davies, his shot blocked by the Serbian. Replays show it possibly had already crossed the line, but Ivanovic did fantastically well.
- 79'
It's worth mentioning that Chelsea have scored five without Fernando Torres.
- 78'

- 77'
Great play between Anelka and Meireles, the Frenchman gliding forward and teeing up Sturridge. In search of a hat-trick, Sturridge scuffs a right-footed shot into the arms of Bogdan.
- 76'
Lampard's corner is well cleared and Bolton come forward. Robinson into Chelsea territory for possibly the first time of the match, but his well-struck cross is headed clear by Terry.

Now it's a Chelsea corner, Petrov turning the ball behind as he blocks a through pass looking for Cole...

- 71'
Sturridge within a whisker of his hat trick, a sumptuous clipped cross from Mata stolen off his head by Zat Knight. Corner.
- 70'
Juan Mata has had the freedom of Bolton in the second half, constantly being given space to try a build Chelsea attacks.
- 69'
Strong tackling from Terry and then Pratley as Bolton chase Chelsea shadows once more. Ngog then does well to maintain possession under several challenges.
