London: Chelsea started their Premier League title defence in style as they crushed West Brom 6-0 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Florent Malouda scored two, Didier Drogba three goals while Frank Lampard scored one. Blackpool marked their first top-flight match in 39 years with a surprise 4-0 win away to north-west rivals Wigan on the opening day.
Ian Holloway's team, promoted via the playoffs, have been widely tipped to go straight back down, but the Tangerines were 3-0 up before half-time, with former Aston Villa striker Marlon Harewood scoring twice.
