Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti was delighted with matchwinner Nicolas Anelka after their victory at Porto.

Ancelotti reserved praise for striker Anelka, who took his goals tally for the season to six after he netted on 69 minutes in Portugal.

He said: "Nicolas is very important for us because he reads the situation of the game very well.

"Sometimes he is a striker, sometimes he helps the midfielders play."
