Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari was full of praise for two-goal Nicolas Anelka after their victory over West Brom.

He said: "Anelka is happy because he has more confidence. The players, the fans believe more in Anelka than before. They give him more chance to score goals.

"Anelka is a very good player, has good skill, good delivery, good shots. In all the games now he is scoring one or two goals. It is fantastic for us.

"As for the away record, I think my players know about this. They are more happy and they want to try to extend more times this record.

"It is a record not for me. It is for Chelsea. Seven of the wins came when I am coach and three before. For our players, it is very good.

"But we have lost many points at home and we need to recover these points away."
