Chelsea nailed a convincing win against Thailand’s All-Stars yesterday, clinching a 4-0 victory in the capital Bangkok on the second match of their 15-day Asian tour.

The result was a marked improvement for the Stamford Bridge team after they failed to shine in Malaysia on Thursday in their first match in Asia, where they scraped a 1-0 win.

Yesterday, in the Thai capital’s Rajamangala National Stadium, both sides failed to capitalise on free-kicks and corners in the first half until England midfielder Frank Lampard scored in the 38th minute.

Chelsea pushed ahead to 2-0 a few minutes into the second half when All-Stars goalkeeper Pattara-korn Tanganurat mishandled a shot from Portuguese forward Jose Bosingwa.

A third goal followed soon after from Serb Branislav Ivanovic in the 52nd minute, and the Blues clinched their fourth and last goal from substitute Florent Malouda in the 72nd minute.

Chelsea’s next stop after Thailand will be Hong Kong, where they play a friendly against Kit-chee, a local team, before ending their tour against either Blackburn Rovers or Aston Villa.

Their slim win in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday was marred by racial abuse directed at their midfielder Yossi Benayoun – the first Israeli to play in the Muslim-majority nation.

But new Blues manager Andre Villas-Boas said after yesterday’s match that fans in both Thailand and Malaysia were “amazing”.

He said his side’s tactics in both matches were similar, although the outcome was better for them in Bangkok.

When asked about his expectations for Fernando Torres, who transferred from Liverpool in January for a British record £50 million but has since scored just once, Villas-Boas said: “I expect from my team, not individuals.”
