Chelsea cruised to victory over League One side Nottingham Forest to book their place in the FA Cup fifth round. against either Blackpool or Norwich at home.

The Blues opened the scoring when Andriy Shevchenko’s close-range volley deflected off Forest’s John Curtis.Sheva and Drogba back on the scoresheet together.

Didier Drogba added another goal with a curling 25-yard free-kick and Mikel Jon Obi then poked the ball home just before half-time.

Forest’s best chance came courtesy of Junior Agogo, who fired his shot across goal from 12 yards out.

Some say the FA Cup is a leveller but that was not the case at Stamford Bridge.

Forest, who are third in League One, never got going and failed to put the Blues under much pressure.

Before they could find their feet, the visitors found themselves a goal down when Shevchenko followed up his midweek brace against Wycombe to fire in from five yards.
