Didier Drogba was among the scorers, again, producing a powerful performance to once more given new manager Andre Villas-Boas food for thought as to who his main striker will be come the start of the season.

And, once more, Fernando Torres, who replaced Drogba for the final half hour didn't score although he did strike the base of the post with a right-foot shot late on. Kitchee struggled throughout to contain Chelsea who are gradually showing signs of working towards being ready for the new campaign.

If there are still issues around the strikers, Chelsea are yet to concede in four pre-season matches under their new manager.

There was a change of shape for Chelsea with Villas-Boas adopting a 4-2-3-1 formation which meant Frank Lampard dropping deeper to be partnered by Yuri Zhirkov in the centre of midfield.

As promised Villas-Boas made changes nine in all from the side that started against a Thai Premier League XI on Sunday although Lampard and captain John Terry were both retained.
