Goals from Florent Malouda and Didier Drogba put Chelsea within sight of the Champions League knockout stages in a comfortable win over Schalke.
Malouda put Avram Grant’s side in front inside four minutes when his left-foot strike squirmed through the legs of embarrassed German keeper Manuel Neuer.
Drogba made the game safe two minutes into the second half when he dived to flick home Paolo Ferreira’s's cross.
Soren Larson was closest for injury-hit Schalke when he headed against a post.
Chelsea came into the game in buoyant mood, on the back of three straight wins under Grant and keen not to suffer a repeat of the previous Champions League night at Stamford Bridge last month.
