Goals from Michael Ballack, Frank Lampard and a double from Didier Drogba gave Guus Hiddink's reinvigorated side the points at Stamford Bridge.
But they had to survive incredible Bolton fightback in the last 20 minutes, after Andy O'Brien, Chris Basham and Matt Taylor had all scored in an EIGHT minute spell.
And boss Hiddink hopes Bolton’s amazing late fightback will be the wake-up call Blues need as they look to finish off Liverpool in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
He said: "We must not let it happen again. It is normal that the players react to the situation.“It was a typical English game. We were leading 4-0 with 20 minutes to go and waiting for a fifth.
“All of a sudden we got very sloppy and too relaxed and didn’t win any duels defensively.“I am not just talking about the defence but also the midfield and front players.
