20th September 2003| Wolves 0 Chelsea 5

 Dave Jones made two changes from the side which lost 2-0 away at Southampton last week. Henri Camara replaced Alex Rae and Joey Gudjonsson replaced Colin Cameron in the centre of midfield.

 Chelsea were in charge of this game from the start and Frank Lampard opened the scoring on 17 minutes after John Terry had a goal ruled out by the referee.

 Lampard picked the ball up on the right, he cut inside and let fly with a superb 20yrd left-footed strike which shot into the net past the helpless Michael Oakes.

 England International Frank Lampard missed an easy chance from 6yrds but the big-spending moneymen made it 2-0 after 36 minutes.

 The impressive Duff played a lovely through-ball to Hasselbaink who slid the ball past Oakes to double the lead.

 HT: Wolves 0 Chelsea 2

 On 52 minutes the game was put beyond all doubt. Gudjohnsen did well on the left before drilling a low ball across the face of goal for Duff to tap in from 2yrds.

 The final two goals both came from the same man, a substitute with the name Crespo.

 He made the game 4-0 with his first touch. Good work from Duff on the left let him get the better of Denis Irwin and his low cross was smashed home by Crespo.

 Wolves then started to play. Henri Camara came close twice, Joey Gudjonnson saw his left-footed shot go just wide and Paul Butler and Steffen Iversen both hit the bar from 8yrds.

 The referee indicated two minutes of added time and it was in the added on time that Chelsea made it 5.

 Duff was again impressive on the left, and like Crespo`s first, the Irish International played the ball across the face of goal and Crespo smashed his second and Chelsea`s 5th into the net.

 FT: Wolves 0 Chelsea 5
