London derbies are always special and this match was no exception. Chelsea dominated the first half and opened the scoring through Belletti from a close range shot after Bent’s error. From then on it looked as if Chelsea would go further ahead and it came as a complete surprise when Bent equalised from a half chance seconds before half time.

And that’s how it stayed.

Check out the highlights

Chelsea started the Luiz Felipe Scolari era with a 4-0 victory over Guangzhou Pharmaceutical.

Scolari named a strong side for his first match in charge with Jose Bosingwa starting at right-back for the first time and Portugal international colleague Deco lining up in a four-man midfield with Michael Essien, John Obi Mikel and Frank Lampard.

Salomon Kalou played upfront with Nicolas Anelka  and it was the Ivory Coast international who scored after 20 minutes with a calm finish from Lampard’s pass.

Bosingwa was substituted with a  thigh injury after a short but impressive performance. Chelsea continued to dominate, playing with some fluency and style.

Essien was denied a second as Guangzhou goalkeeper Li Shuai saved well, and Anelka hit the post.

Petr Cech saved a Xu Liang free-kick , before Lampard made it 2-0 five minutes into the second half with a well crafted chip from 30 yards.

Argentine teenager Franco Di Santo scored a third goal on 78 minutes to put the match beyond doubt as he turned home Florent Malouda’s cross.

Shaun Wright-Phillips,out of favour but one of eight substitutes used by Scolari, then completed the easy victory in the dying minutes with a cool shot on the turn.

Chelsea continue their Asian tour with a match against Chengdu Blades on Saturday.
