Carlo Ancelotti all praise for Drogba after Ivorian's stunner against Bolton in EPL

"Finally Drogba played a fantastic match," said Ancelotti. "It was a fantastic goal. His power and personality are very important for this team. It is crucial that he came back fit and dangerous." The result leaves Chelsea seven points adrift of United, who also have a game in hand.

However, Ancelotti is not giving up the fight, especially as his side still have to face the leaders twice.

"That is the end of the bad moment," he said. "It was an important performance and now we have to look forward with confidence.

"To close the gap is not going to be easy. At this moment Manchester United are so far in front. But step by step, we can do it, although obviously we have to win the games against them."

After a dismal run of just two wins in 12 Premier League games, Chelsea have used their seven-goal FA Cup mauling of Ipswich a fortnight ago as a springboard to a brighter future.

Florent Malouda and Nicolas Anelka followed up a stupendous early opener from Didier Drogba before Ramires capped a fine night for the Blues when he scored his first goal for the club.
