LONDON (AP) Chelsea progressed easily in the last 16 of the Champions League after beating Spartak Moscow 4-1 on Wednesday with the English champions' all the goals you score in a master class in the second half. 

Nicolas Anelka opened the scoring from a tight angle in the 49th minute before Didier Drogba, who was captain of Chelsea for the game, doubled the lead from the penalty spot on 64 after being struck by Evgeny Makeev. 

Drogba sent a free kick was saved by Branislav Ivanovic, four minutes later and the center of the back grabbed his second in injury time, ensuring the Blues fourth successive win in Group F.

Drogba, who played his first match in the Champions League this season after serving a three-match suspension, had a low drive saved by Andriy Dykan then walked to the corner of Yuri Zhirkov. 

Spartak was far from out of the game, however, and looked forward going lively, with an adjustment to new captain Alex excitement in a unit that was clearly beaten by goalkeeper Petr Cech. 

The last chance, and the best in a quiet first half fell to Alex of Chelsea, who got to take the ball over the bar from two yards after latching on Ivanovic looked header.

A ground invasion is out of the box end Spartak fans, who held the procedure a few minutes, but only delay the inevitable for him. 

Kalou and substitute Daniel Sturridge missed golden opportunities to make it 4-0, with Bazhenov slide at the far post four minutes from Spartak consolation. 

Ivanovic in the home of Chelsea fourth from close to complete the scoring and give your manager an opportunity to rest their star players in the final group game at home against Zilina and away from Marseille. 

"It is important to finish in first place in the group," said Ancelotti. "There is still a long way to go in the tournament. We hope to avoid injuries and keep our team for the Champions League was decided in February and March. "
