Joe Cole's double strike helped Chelsea to a 7-0 victory over the Chengdu Blades in their pre-season friendly in Macau. The game, played in a humid atmosphere, helped raise funds for the Sichuan earthquake appeal.
Nicolas Anelka began the scoring in the 15th minute when he picked up a Shaun Wright-Phillips cross and beat the keeper to knock it in from a yard out.
Wright-Phillips was the instigator again in the 31st minute when he crossed to Anelka who then passed to Saloman Kalou who calmly slotted past the goalkeeper.
Seven minutes later Frank Lampard added his long-range effort and at half time the Blues were 3-0 up.
In the 53rd minute boss Luiz Felipe Scolari brought Joe Cole on for John Terry. Two minutes later Cole scored his first goal. Then, ten minutes later, substitute Franco Di Santo also scored an easy tap-in goal just moments after coming onto the field.
England winger Cole scored his second in the 82nd minute also from a Wright-Phillips cross, which he whipped through his legs and into the back of the net.
Finally after playing a pivotal role all match, in the 84th minute Wright-Phillips scored a goal of his own, when Florent Malouda's drive ricocheted off his back and into the goal.
In their final match in Asia Chelsea will face a Malaysian Select XI in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday before they head off to Russia next week.
