West Bromwich Albion:
Carson: 5.0-
Caught at his near post for two of the three goals and chipped on the other. Bound to concede facing an attack like this.
Zuiverloon: 4.0-
Given a hiding by Malouda, could scarcely put up a fight.
Robinson: 5.5-
Kalou was not prominent on Robinson's wing and he made a number of key blocks. Got forward when he could too.
Meite: 3.0-
Could not get close to Anelka's shadow. Made errors throughout and was substituted.
Olsson: 6.0-
Made some key interceptions and was the most assured in a beleaguered back four.
Greening: 5.5-
Struggled against a superior opposition, but always was on the lookout to get moves going.
Koren: 6.0-
A classy customer saw some fine through balls wasted by his strikers, but had his patch patrolled efficiently by Mikel.
Morrison: 6.0-
The lightweight made some inroads in the early stages against Bridge but faded as Chelsea took over.
Valero: 6.5-
Showed a cute eye for a pass but had little room in which to rove. Was effectively bullied from proceedings.
Bednar: 4.5-
Incapable of taking the one chance that came his way. That's all you get against Chelsea.
Miller: 6.5-
Made life difficult for Terry and Ivanovic and drew a booking each from the pair. His best work was done far from the Chelsea goal.
Subs
Kim: 5.5-
Limited impact; filled a gap.
Tiexeira- 6.5-
Made an immediate difference but had his game quickly countered.
Donk: n/a-
Chelsea:
Cudicini: 6.0-
Had little to do, did it well.
Bosingwa: 7.5-
Great strike for the goal and is a key player in Scolari's fluid system. Did not have many defensive duties tonight.
Bridge: 7.0-
No fuss from Bridge. Kept it tight at the back and offered support for his attackers.
Terry: 6.5-
Looked uncomfortable occasionally against Miller but marshalled another clean sheet. Injured.
Ivanovic: 7.0-
A run of games would see Ivanovic excel at this level. Solid showing.
Mikel: 7.5-
Very effective in the 'Mikel-ele' position. Making it his own with swift challenges and composed, simple passes.
Lampard: 8.0-
A classy performance from arguably the continent's best midfielder. A subtle touch going forward and an imposing opponent in the middle third.
Deco: 8.0-
Shimmered behind Anelka and his through passes invariably had West Brom on an uncomfortable turn.
Malouda: 8.5-
Has grown immeasurably under Scolari. Such a threat going forward - he had Zuiverloon in knots. Incisive and eager for 90 minutes.
Kalou: 6.5-
The most subdued of a glowing Chelsea front line. A quiet match but did manage to provide an assist.
Anelka: 9.0-
There's no stopping the man. Drogba will be kicking his heels on the bench for another few weeks yet. His exquisite touch in front of goal is invaluable to the Blues.
Subs:
Drogba: 6.0-
Barely featured.
Ballack: 6.0-
Had a few touches to ease him back into action.
Ferreira: n/a-
