Chelsea roared back to the top of the Premier League table on Saturday evening as they eased to a 3-0 victory away at rock-bottom 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.
The hosts had begun the game in positive fashion, with James Morrison and Ishmael Miller both going close to opening the scoring.
However, it would Bosingwa who forced the breakthrough on 34 minutes when his speculative drive from 25 yards evaded the clutches of Scott Carson and nestled into the top corner.
Chelsea were now rampant and extended their advantage just four minutes later when Anelka raced clear to finish with aplomb.
The Frenchman, who currently tops the Premier League scoring charts, then claimed his second goal of the contest in first half injury-time when he coolly beat Carson at his near post.
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.
