Bolton v Chelsea: Player ratings

PLAYER ratings from Bolton's home defeat at the hands of League Champions-elect Chelsea.

JAASKELAINEN: Did everything that could be humanly asked of him. No chance with the goals6

BEN HAIM: Looked comfortable until faced with the pace of sub Robben. Sent off in injury time for second yellow5

GARDNER: Put Bolton on the front foot down left flank in first half but soon subdued6

N'GOTTY: Stood tall against Drogba and Crespo in a decent defensive performance6

FAYE: Slotted in at centre back and was combative and smart in the face of Chelsea's percentage game7

CAMPO: Gave the Wanderers midfield some much-needed composure, but at the expense of Okocha's spark6

NOLAN: Was shown by opposing number Lampard just what it takes to be an England international5

SPEED: Had a decent first half but succumbed to Chelsea's relentless efficiency in the second5

VAZ TE: Showed little glimpses of his ability but made little impact on a solid Chelsea back line5

BORGETTI: His height and aerial strength were totally negated by the dominant John Terry5

DAVIES: Hurled himself into the fray, and earned a yellow card, but got nowhere against the solid Chelsea defence5

STELIOS (Borgetti 45) - Gave Bolton a shot in the arm early in second half but soon faded5
