JIMMY Floyd Hasselbaink reckons Chelsea now have the grit to go with the glamour writes Ken Gaunt of PA Sport

A club renowned for its showbiz image is proving they can scrap it out on humble foreign soil.

Hasselbaink's goal was a case in point. With the storm clouds settling over nearby Winter Hill, Chelsea were feeling the chill.

Henrik Pedersen had put Bolton on their way to a second successive victory and the clock was ticking down.

The Chelsea of old might just have shrugged their shoulders and admitted defeat. But under the stewardship of coach Claudio Ranieri they have developed a new-found resilience.

Hasselbaink secured an unlikely point when he headed home a delightful cross from Gianfranco Zola on the stroke of full time.

The Dutch striker said: "You can talk about Chelsea not being focused against the small teams but that was not the case at Bolton.

"The team is working hard to get in the Champions League and the spirit is there but we are not talking about the championship.

"I know Arsenal and Liverpool both lost but you have to look at yourself most of all.

"It would have been nicer for us to win at Bolton with those two losing, then we would really have done something.

"We should have won this game as we had more chances but it was not meant to be and we had to settle for a point.

"I thought we played some great stuff for the first 20 minutes then we faded a little bit. But we got it back in the second half and played some good football.

"You need a little bit of luck and we didn't have that. They cleared two shots off the line and their goalkeeper did well."

Hasselbaink is pushing for a place in the starting line up against Sunderland after scoring his fifth goal of the season.

He said: "It is always important to score when you are a striker and more special when you get a result.

"I got the ball from Marcel (Desailly) and laid it off to (Gianfranco) Zola. He crossed a wonderful ball and I got a little touch on my head and their keeper was off-balance."

The goal came after Celestine Babayaro was red-carded after a challenge on Youri Djorkaeff, leaving Chelsea playing out the last 13 minutes with 10 men.

Ranieri intends to look at the video of the game to see if Babayaro was unfairly treated.

The Chelsea coach said: "Babayaro says it wasn't intentional that the Bolton player was injured. It was an accident.

"I didn't see it at the time as I was talking to Mario Stanic on the bench.

"But I believe in the referee and linesmen. I say nothing about them, I accept their rules." Pedersen was furious that his third goal in two games had only led to one point.

He got on the end of Djorkaeff's corner to direct a header beyond goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini in the 64th minute.

Pedersen said: "We have to concentrate for the whole game and try and keep a clean sheet.

"My goal came at a good time as we had been under a lot of pressure but then we gave two points away."

Manager Sam Allardyce saw his injury list lengthen when midfielder Per Frandsen hobbled off with a hamstring problem.

The Bolton boss said: "It is a particular worry that we have got too many players injured.

"We have to get them back, then we will have the stability and consistency we will need to get away from the bottom of the table."
