Chelsea fight back to win

Second-half goals from Daniel Sturridge and Florent Malouda spared Chelsea's blushes as a 2-1 win against MSK Zilina maintained their 100% record in the Champions League.

Chelsea trailed to Babatounde Bello's shock 19th-minute opener for the Group F minnows, but Sturridge levelled six minutes after the break.

Malouda then grabbed a vital winner for the English champions when he slotted home at the far post four minutes from time to ease the pressure on under-fire boss Carlo Ancelotti.

Chelsea first threatened the visitors in the 17th minute when Gael Kakuta sent over a cross that almost dropped into the net at the far post.

But they hit trouble in the 19th minute when Bello sliced his way through the home defence and coolly slotted the ball home.

And Zilina almost added a second on the half-hour when Tomas Majtan got clear to test Ross Turnbull at the near post. The Chelsea keeper was lucky to claw the ball away from danger as Zilina continued to threaten.

Seconds later Sturridge forced Martin Dubravka into a fine save when he sent a 20-yard angled drive towards the top corner. Sturridge wasted another chance in the 39th minute when he somehow sent a six-yard shot over the bar, although Chelsea were at least beginning to exert some pressure.

Chelsea equalised in the 51st minute when Salomon Kalou's cross eluded everyone in the six-yard box apart from Sturridge at the far post, the striker slipping the ball through the legs of the Zilina keeper to make it 1-1.

Patrick Van Aanholt was denied by the woodwork in the 71st minute when his thunderous 20-yard drive cannoned back off the left-hand upright.

And Chelsea ensured they maintained their 100% record in Europe when Malouda slotted home at the far post after Dider Drogba had headed substitute Nicolas Anelka's cross into his path.
