Anelka hands Hiddink a sky-blue send-off

THE Shed End sang “Guus Hiddink, we want you to stay” as Chelsea marked the Dutchman’s Stamford Bridge swan-song with the most effortless of victories, but it is too late.

A replacement is already on the way.

Owner Roman Abramovich was in the stands to see goals from Florent Malouda and Nicolas Anelka earn Chelsea a win that typified their improvement under a manager who has transformed the club since replacing Luiz Felipe Scolari on a temporary, part-time basis.
