Wigan 1 Chelsea 2: Chelsea's good form in cup competitions continued as they progressed at the expense of Wigan at the JJB Stadium in the today's late kick-off.

Avram Grant's side defeated Everton last Wednesday to reach the Carling Cup final and followed it up with a place in the fifth round draw.

Striker Nicolas Anelka grabbed his first goal in Chelsea colours since his £15million move from Bolton in the 53rd minute.

Juliano Belletti threaded the ball through to Anelka and he beat the advancing Chris Kirkland to the ball to stab home from inside the penalty area.

Anelka then set up Shaun Wright-Phillips who's 82nd minute-shot deceived Kirkland before Antoine Sibierski pulled a goal back for Wigan with a long-range strike three minutes from time.
