Anelka makes it 18 for the season

Nicolas Anelka scored twice to hand Chelsea a 2-0 win at Blackburn Rovers and restore the Blues position on top of the Premiership table.

The French striker netted a goal in each half to lead the charge for the top scorers in the league with 10 goals, to ahead of Wigan's Amr Zaki.

Anelka was fortunate to claim the first goal in the 39th minute, after Jose Bosingwa's shot accidentally hit his knee before hitting the net.

But the former Real Madrid man coolly struck his second of the game in the 68th minute, when he beat Paul Robinson with a delicate lob.

Chelsea level on 29 points with Liverpool at the summit, but the former have a superior goal difference.
