Failure in Europe's elite competition has signalled the end for the previous three Chelsea bosses but there were no scares for Scolari at Stamford Bridge, whose debut in the competition was straightforward after the hosts established a lead.

Florent Malouda and Nicolas Anelka added late goals to give a fair reflection to the scoreline.

With Didier Drogba to return from suspension, Scolari will head into the Group A matches against Cluj and Roma encouraged by their start to the campaign - they were comfortable winners but did not have to be at their vintage best to beat Bordeaux.

Chelsea were ahead in the 14th minute when Lampard finished off a crisp move for his third goal of the season.

The second goal came on the half-hour mark through Cole, with the England midfielder beating centre-backs Fernando and Franck Jurietti at the near post to nod home Lampard's corner.

Malouda added the third after a run from Mikel that took him around three defenders. He passed to Lampard, whose backheel invited Malouda to fire into the far corner.

Ricardo Carvalho hit the crossbar with a header before the end, and a goal would not have flattered the hosts.

Then Juliano Belletti hit the crossbar and Anelka tapped in for the fourth.
