Florent Malouda unselfishly set up Anelka to add a third goal and Lampard headed in Cole's cross to make it four.
Anelka fired home from Malouda's cross to complete the scoring inside an hour.____________________________________________________________________

Ross Turnbull's late double save from Lee Bowyer and Jack Collison earned Middlesbrough a highly entertaining draw with West Ham.
Hayden Mullins's volley rattled in off the bar after 21 minutes in a first half dominated by the visitors.
Boro raised their game after the break and Justin Hoyte had a diving header ruled out for offside before Mido levelled with a low free-kick.
West Ham almost claimed the win late on but were denied by Turnbull's heroics.
After an initial flourish by Boro, West Ham took charge, with Freddie Sears putting a shot just wide and only being denied another great chance by a superbly timed Chris Riggott interception from Julien Faubert's cross.

Emile Heskey's injury-time winner for Wigan left Tony Adams looking for his first point as Portsmouth boss.
Heskey's 100th Premier League goal from Lee Cattermole's pass settled an incredible game where Pompey hit the woodwork no less than five times.
Amr Zaki fired the Latics ahead from the penalty spot after Papa Bouba Diop fouled Titus Bramble.
Wigan's goal lived a charmed life before substitute Niko Kranjcar looked to have saved a point for Pompey.____________________________________________________________________

Ricardo Fuller and Seyi Olofinjana both scored after long throw-ins by Rory Delap as Arsenal capitulated and also had Robin van Persie sent off.
Delap sent a throw to the far post and Fuller glanced in for the opener.
Delap, himself, then looped in a header that Gael Clichy cleared off the line before Olofinjana chested in Stoke's second from another Delap throw-in.
Van Persie saw red for shoving Thomas Sorensen before Clichy pulled a goal back with a deflected shot.
The defeat is another serious blow to Arsenal's title aspirations, while Stoke will be delighted with three points that take them a little further away from the drop zone.
