Chelsea's Didier Drogba celebrates his goal against Bolton Wanderers Monday. (Reuters) BOLTON: Didier Drogba scored a wonder goal Monday as Chelsea won 4-0 at Bolton, ensuring the defending champion win consecutive Premier League matches for the first time since October. Drogba unleashed a swerving 33-yard shot that dipped past goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen in the 11th minute at Reebok Stadium. Teammate Florent Malouda side-footed home from a tight angle in the 41st, Nicolas Anelka's left-footed drive found the net in the 56th and Ramires added his first Chelsea goal in the 74th minute. Chelsea is still seven points behind leader Manchester United in fourth place, having played one match more. Bilbao downs Hercules Athletic Bilbao moved into the Europa League positions in the Spanish league Monday after beating Hercules 3-0 at home. Bilbao's eighth win in 11 games at San Mames stadium lifted the team into sixth place for the first time since week one. Promoted Hercules remained 12th, five points above the relegation zone. Barcelona leads the standings with 55 points, four ahead of second-place Real Madrid. Villarreal is third on 42 points, Valencia fourth on 40 and Espanyol fifth on 37. Top three get byes The top three finishers at the Asian Cup in Qatar will automatically qualify for the 2015 edition in Australia, the Asian Football Confederation confirmed Tuesday. It was the same scenario for the current tournament, which allowed 2007 winner Iraq, runner-up Saudi Arabia and third-placed South Korea to avoid the qualifying process. If 2015 host Australia qualifies as one of the top three in Doha, no new berth would be created. Milito, Mourinho win awards Inter Milan striker Diego Milito was voted Italian Players' Association Player of the Year for 2009-10 Monday with his former boss Jose Mourinho winning the best coach award. Julio Cesar was again named goalkeeper of the year while Inter teammate Maicon won the award for best goal. Inter's Walter Samuel shared the best defender with Juventus' Giorgio Chiellini and Udinese's Antonio Di Natale was voted best Italian player. Palermo's Argentina playmaker Javier Pastore won best young player.
