He wasn't able to do that alone, only with Plagueis. Remember how right after Anakin pledged allegiance he pretty much told him he lied about the saving Padmé? That was that moment when most of us were like "Why didn't he just kill him right then and there?!" Well, it turns out Anakin had intended to betray Sidious, but he ended up getting severely injured by Obi-Wan, and his force power was reduced to less than Palpatine's.
