Chelsea have emphatically qualified for the next round of the Champions League thanks to a 4-0 crushing of Rosenborg in Norway. Drogba (2), Cole and Alex all made the scoresheet.

  • Didier Drogba's early double stunned the home side, as Alex and Joe Cole concluded the victory for the Premiership side.



    Chelsea are clear on top of Group B with 11 points, four ahead of Rosenborg, who were fortunate to see Schalke and Valencia play out a goalless draw at Mestalla.



    The Blues needed seven minutes to open the scoring when Drogba followed in Cole's blocked shot to hit the net in rage, before the Ivorian hitman grabbed his second with a close-range finish in the 20th minute.



    Five minutes from the break, Brazil center-half Alex smashed a trade-mark freekick to make it three.



    Substitute Andrei Shevchenko came close in the 73rd minute, but his effort was denied by Lars Hirschfeld, who failed to stop Cole on the rebound.
