Berba brace see Bolton off as Chelsea hit 7 past Villa... game on.

Dimitar Berbatov rendered Rooney’s absence negligible by scoring twice, nimbly poking home a rebound when Jussi Jaaskelainen weakly parried Darren Fletcher’s shot after Ryan Giggs found the breaking Fletcher with a canny pass, then converting with a clever finish from eight yards out after Nani jinked into position to supply him.

Gibson added the 4th. The first was an own goal by Jlloyd Samuel.

Chelsea won 7-1 at home against Villa (Yes! SEVEN), while Arsenal drew against Birmingham.

Bring on Chelski next week! It doesn't get any more exciting than this in the race to the English Premiership League title.
