Chelsea ran riot to rout strugglers Wolves and retain a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League. It was a stellar Blues display despite a host of absences, kick-started by Florent Malouda's 22-yard strike. Michael Essien then grabbed two in 10 minutes, heading home unmarked and squeezing in from the edge of the area, before Joe Cole clipped in on the hour.
