Chelsea carried their championship trophy on to the pitch before the game and goals from Ireland winger Damien Duff and striker Carlton Cole gave them a 2-0 lead at the break.

Charlie Griffin pulled one back for the fourth division club before one goal from Dutch winger Arjen Robben and two from Czech midfielder Jiri Jarosik completed Chelsea's win.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho told Sky Sports News: "I'm happy, but I look at this as a training session and not as a game.

"The important thing is that we are working well, the players are tired but, even tired, they gave everything they could and tried to improve themselves."
