Chelsea 7-0 Stoke City: Needing a win to return to the top of the Premier League, the Blues open the scoring when Salomon Kalou heads home from fellow Ivory Coast striker Didier Drogba's cross
They have another soon after when Kalou prods home a rebound but he makes contact with Thomas Sorensen in the process resulting in the goalkeeper being taken to hospital with a suspected broken elbow

The Chelsea faithful have to wait until the 68th minute for the fourth goal of the afternoon and again it comes from Kalou who completes his hat-trick shortly before being substituted
Instead of easing off with the job apparently done, the hosts keep pushing and have a fifth when Lampard flicks home his second from youngster Sam Hutchinson's cross
Carlo Ancelotti's side add another two goals in the last three minutes, courtesy of Daniel Sturridge and Florent Malouda, to complete a 7-0 rout which sends them emphatically back to the top of the table
