Chelsea opened their account after Steinsson had given the ball away as Malouda tackled, Drogba pounced on the loose ball and drove towards goal unleashing a thunderbolt from over 30 yards out that flew over Jaaskelainen.
The second came after the ball fell nicely for Malouda who was in space at the back post to see his shot blocked, before composing himself to slot it home.
Bolton were punished for leaving themselves short at the back when Essien drilled in a cross towards the front post when Zat Knight tackled Drogba well, only to see Anelka capitilize and fire it low into the bottom corner.
Essien got down the left hand side again as his cross found Anelka, who's shot was blocked and again the ball fell kindly for a Chelsea player, this time for Ramires to hammer it in.
Bolton started the better of the two sides, Holden mis-hit shot not troubling Cech but he had to be alert to save a header from Kevin Davies. They have players who are dangerous in the air but Taylor isn't regarded as one of them, it was he who had the best attempt on goal bringing the best out of Cech who dived low towards his left post to save. Bolton weren't able to break down the Chelsea defence all game but looked dangerous after Mark Davies had come on linking up well with Elmander.
Drogba and Steinsson were comparing their abs during the second half as the Ivorian pulled his shirt up after a high foot from Taylor. If it weren't for Jaaskelainens few saves at the end it could've been five. Could've also been five if Foy had spotted a clear penalty when Robinson smashed Anelka inside the box. Chelsea got themselves a 3pt cushion from Spurs in 5th, but are still 7pts behind Man Utd.
