AVB claims first win as Blues reach summit

Chelsea came from behind to beat West Bromwich Albion 2-1 at Stamford Bridge and join Aston Villa, Liverpool, and Newcastle United atop the Barclays Premier League standings.

Goals from Nicolas Anelka and first-half substitute Florent Malouda, who replaced Salomon Kalou, were enough to turn the tables on the Baggies, who had taken an early lead through last weekend's scorer Shane Long.
