Chelsea 7 Sunderland 2

Chelsea returned to Premier League action in emphatic fashion as they routed Sunderland to once again underline their title credentials.

Nicolas Anelka grabbed the first, a one-on-one, and sixth, a tap-in, while Florent Malouda smashed the second.

A Frank Lampard volley followed Ashley Cole's stunning control and finish, before Michael Ballack headed a fifth.

Crazy really and apparently they could have been even further ahead and perhaps made double figures :shock:

The defending this season in the Prem has been seriously poor and I don't know if this is a sign of the gulf in class perhaps it's widening, especially considering Chelsea are without the likes of Drogba, Kalou and Mikel.
