Chelsea proved they were very much alive and kicking as Nicolas Anelka fired them to within touching distance of the Champions League quarter-finals with a 2-0 win against FC Copenhagen
Anelka ensured the faltering Blues stayed in the hunt for silverware this season with a deadly double in the Danish capital, extending his remarkable scoring record in the competition to seven goals in six games.
Copenhagen proved the perfect opponents for a Chelsea side who arrived in freezing Denmark with their season in danger of unravelling completely, the hosts clearly showing the effects of having not played a competitive match for two-and-a-half months.
