Frank Lampard underlined his value to Chelsea with a spectacular long-range lob as the Luiz Felipe Scolari era got under way with a 4-0 romp against Guangzhou Pharmaceutical in China. Franco Di Santo scored on his debut while Salomon Kalou and Shaun Wright-Phillips also impressed the new coach in front of 30,000 fans.

Lampard scored from 20 yards before picking out Wright-Phillips with a raking pass that travelled half the length of the field. It was the perfect tonic for Lampard, the subject of feverish transfer speculation, and the ideal start for Scolari as he sets about re-stocking the Chelsea trophy cabinet.

All in all was a good match, Great move for Kalou's goal, Lamps produced a sublime piece of skill for his chip over the keeper for the second. Di Santo looked impressive and showed some nice touches and good ball control, his goal showed that he knows where to be as a striker and Sweep actually seemed to know where the goal was again.
In the first half Annelka produced some good stuff and was unlucky not to be on the score sheet as was Bridge in the second half
All that and Ivanovic played at right back showing his worth as a utilitarian player and in doing so hopefully negating the need to play Essien anywhere else but midfield where he is most dangerous
