Chelsea scored four times as
they coasted past Cardiff City 4-1 at Stamford Bridge to book a
place in the FA Cup quarter-finals.
A dominant second half showing saw of the Championship outfit
who had gone in at the break level.
Didier Drogba finished
clinically after only two minutes but Cardiff battled back and
deservedly levelled on 34 minutes when Michel Chopra was allowed a
free near post header.
Drogba then turned provider allowing Michael Ballack to restore
the home side's advantage just after the restart as the Blues
increased the tempo.
Daniel Sturridge then made it three and just before the end
substitute Salomon Kalou headed home Paulo Ferreira's cross to seal
an emphatic victory.
