West Brom so nearly level again! Reid lifts a cross over to Odemwingie at the far post and the Nigerian striker hits it on the volley, but it's right at Hilario who saves and holds! So close for the Baggies!
84'
Losing the lead is very hard on West Brom, who have deserved a point, but this is what Chelsea do. Villas-Boas must be a releived man, even if his expression is giving little away.

GOAL!! 2-1 CHELSEA!! Bosingwa skips between Morrison and shorey and he's away! The Portuguese puts in a great low ball first time and Malouda is there at the far post to finish from close range and give Chelsea the lead!

Anelka is sent scampering away down the rigth flank and Foster comes absolutely miles out of his goal to try and stop him. Anelka sidefoots the ball past him towards the empty net, but it rolls into the side netting! What was Foster thinking?

West Brom substitution: Peter Odemwingie replaces Tchoyi.

If you thought Anelka's record against West Brom was impressive, then check out Drogba's: he has scored seven goals in eight previous appearances against the Baggies.

The last time two of the Big Four clubs were winless in the first two match rounds was in 1998/1999, when Man Utd and Chelsea failed to win. (Infostrada)

Lovely diagonal cross from Ivanovic and it almost lands right on the boot of Drogba, but the Ivorian swings and misses.

Lampard lifts a ball into the path of Anelka inside the est Brom. Foster comes charging off his line and Anelka sends his effort over the bar.
