Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti says Florent Malouda produced his best performance of the season in yesterday's win over West Ham United.

Key to the win was the performance of Malouda who not only scored the third goal but tortured West Ham right-back Jonathan Spector all afternoon, supplying the delivery for Chelsea's first two goals; two of 16 crosses from the France international during his 86 minutes on the pitch.

"That was the best performance of Florent Malouda," Ancelotti told chelseafc.com.

"He did very well, worked for the team, did fantastic assists for goals and I hope that he will play like today on Tuesday. He won't play left-back."
