Chelsea vs Blackpool Match Report

Chelsea 4-0 Blackpool
19 September 10 16:52 GMT


By Paul Fletcher


Chelsea brushed aside Blackpool to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to four points.

Salomon Kalou tapped home from a corner in the second minute before Florent Malouda struck from short range.

Didier Drogba's deflected strike made it 3-0 before Malouda scored his second with a low shot just before the break.

Petr Cech denied Alex Baptiste and in a much better second-half display the keeper saved a Gary Taylor-Fletcher shot with DJ Campbell also going close.

After the break Blackpool had an even share of the opportunities, but the game was already beyond the visitors by then.

The afternoon got off to the worst possible start for Blackpool, who managed to touch the ball just once before Chelsea opened the scoring after 71 seconds.

That solitary touch gave Chelsea a corner, from which an unmarked Kalou tapped home at the far post after Branislav Ivanovic had flicked on.

Chelsea were without injured duo John Terry and Frank Lampard while Nicolas Anelka was rested, but it did not prevent the home team from repeatedly carving open a Tangerines side that lacked shape and were extremely vulnerable to swift counter attacks.

Michael Essien and Drogba fashioned a simple finish for Malouda after 12 minutes and it did not take long before the party tricks started to appear, with Drogba playing one particularly audacious behind-the-leg pass.

Ashley Cole appeared to have the freedom of the left flank and a square ball from the England international was fired home by Drogba with a shot on the turn that took a significant deflection off defender Ian Evatt.

Tangerines boss Ian Holloway, who saw his team thrashed 6-0 at Arsenal in August, had included the more defensive Alex Baptiste for Brett Ormerod in his starting line-up, presumably to frustrate Chelsea.

But Holloway's ragged outfit were frequently outnumbered at the back and it took a good save from Matt Gilks to deny Drogba after the Ivorian's neat flick and turn had wrong-footed several Blackpool players.

Drobga played a raking pass from a central position that found Kalou, who in turn picked out Malouda for the France international to slot home the fourth with a low first-time finish on 41 minutes.

Blackpool could consider themselves unlucky not to have reduced the deficit with the scoreline at 2-0 but Baptiste's low rasping strike was amazingly saved by Cech.

Dekel Keinan should also have scored with a header from a corner that skimmed wide as virtually everything went wrong for the Tangerines in the opening 45 minutes.

The visiting side took the fight to their opponents after the restart and forced a goal-line clearance from Ivanovic after Campbell took the ball around Cech and shot from a tight angle.

Charlie Adam then picked out Luke Varney out with a delicious pass but his team-mate skewed his volley well wide.

Chelsea should have been awarded a penalty after Keinen tugged Malouda, but Blackpool continued to threaten at the other end as Campbell almost bundled the ball home from inside the six-yard box.

Holloway had brought on Taylor-Fletcher for Neal Eardley at the break and the striker almost scored with his superb floated effort that Cech did well to save.

Malouda spurned two opportunities to complete his hat-trick before Tangerines substitute Marlon Harewood smashed a close-range strike into the side netting.

Cole then had a strike blocked and Drogba missed the target as Chelsea failed to build on their half-time advantage but Carlo Ancelotti's side nonetheless have a goal difference of +20 after five Premier League fixtures.

Qué bien se siente escribirme con gente que hable mi mismo idioma y que tenga una profunda simpatía por el equipo que hizo que me gustara tanto el fútbol. En realidad cuando se trata del Chelsea cualquier texto en inglés es sencillo... ¿qué les pareció el partido? Esperaban más? Justos rendimientos? Comenten muchachos!

Citación :

Guao matapepinos, tu Firma está, estaa...Hermosa!!

Bueno, hablando del partido me gusto el primer tiempo: una aplanadora .
También quise mas goles pero lo mejor era no arriesgar una lesion, porque se nos vienen muchos partidos. bueno lo de Ramires, Bssien y Benayoun

A mi me gustó mucho el partido, principalmente el primer tiempo, donde los desbordes de Ashley Cole fueron brutales, y el trabajo de Michael Essien descomunal. También sensacional trabajo de Ivanovic de central, y por supuesto del tridente atacante (Anelka-Malouda-Drogba), aunque mejor los dos últimos, Anelka nunca ha sido de mi especial agrado.

El 2º tiempo pasó lo que tenía que pasar, con el trabajo totalmente hecho es realmente dificil conseguir centrarse e incidir más, aunque el juego siguió siendo infinitamente superior al del Blackpool, que salvo en contadísimas ocasiones, ni se les vió aparecer.

Pues un primer tiempo perfecto, un segundo tiempo k si bien le bajaron el ritmo hubo oportunidades para meter otros cuatro, pero a diferencia del primer tiempo no se conto con la misma contundencia, no hay mas k decir, chelsea esta jugando perfecto, todos en su posicion cumplen, nadie keda a deber
