Watch Premiership Highlights of Wigan v Chelsea Highlights on 21.08.2010

Wigan were demolished for the second time in a week to lay rooted to the foot of the Premiership as Chelsea maintained their storming start to the season.

Two goals from both Salomon Kalou and Nicolas Anelka helped them on their way to a rout as the Wigan defence were yet again found desperately lacking.

However the scoring didn’t begin until the 34th minute when Florent Malouda tapped in after Frank Lampard had forced a save out of Chris Kirkland.

That was the only goal of the first half before in the second half Anelka scored a quick-fire double within 10 minutes of the restart for Chelsea’s second and third.

Kalou added Chelsea’s fourth and his first of the afternoon with a drilled shot.

Didier Drogba then crossed for Kalou to net his second of his afternoon and Chelsea’s fifth before new signing Yossi Benayoun completed the rout.

That was the champions’ 12th goal in two games and their 29th in their last four league matches.

Wigan will be glad to see the back of them for a few months, while Stoke, West Ham and Blackpool, who face the Blues in the next few weeks, will be praying for damage limitation.
