Play by play

  1. 91'

    That's it! Chelsea break their Arsenal hoodoo on the biggest stage of all. 2-1 winners, 3-2 on aggregate, they go throughto the semis.

  2. 91'

    Chelsea work it upfield. They win a corner - but no-one goes up. Behind it goes for a goalkick

  3. 90'

    Into the last minute. Ljungberg charges forward but referee Merk won't bow to his attempts to win a freekick

  4. 89'

    Gunners get a freekick in midfield. Pires takes but Toure misjudges his jump and his header loops into Ambrosio's hands

  5. 88'

    Highbury silenced - bar one corner - and Ranieri is absolutely ecstatic

  6. 87'

    And it's Bridge driving forward. One-two with Gudjohnsen and the Blues fullback fires expertly past Lehmann. 2-1 Chelsea!

  7. 86'

    Joe Cole at it again - this time on the right but Toure heads clear as Crespo lurks. Chelsea have the bit between their teeth...

  8. 85'

    Joe Cole on another raid. It's cut back for Gudjohnsen to fire. And only a brilliant goalline effort from Ashley Cole saves the Gunners

  9. 84'

    Edu controls neatly but fires a quick ball that even Henry couldn't have reached

  10. 83'

    Joe Cole's first contribution is to pick up a yellow card - he's in too hard on Ljungberg as he tries to retrieve Gronkjaer's cross

  11. 82'

    Duff is off meanwhile as Crespo replaces Hasselbaink - not much approval for that from the Blues fans stuck in the Clock End corner

  12. 81'

    A brave call from Wenger, although admittedly he has not seen the best from Henry tonight

  13. 80'

    As Crespo and Joe Cole also get ready. Bergkamp replaces Henry - to Highbury's astonishment

  14. 79'

    Turning a little scruffy now as the stakes get bigger, closer to 90 minutes. Both keepers lumping it long. Bergkamp is set to arrive meanwhile

  15. 79'

    Hasselbaink perplexed as referee Merk sees fit not to penalise Campbell closing in on him

  16. 78'

    Ljungberg skies a cross behind after Pires' strong run past Makelele through midfield

  17. 77'

    The Dane goes on another run down the flank, but this time miscontrols under ptressure from Cole

  18. 76'

    All that came from good work by Gronkjaer, who has been a threat on the right

  19. 75'

    Campbell's last-ditch block denies Lampard after Gudjohnsen dwelled on the ball from the edge of the box. He had the better chance

  20. 74'

    Blues clear the corner though and work their way up field. Bridge finds Gronkjaer but Edu can clear

  21. 73'

    Arsenal continue to build before Toure, astonishingly, unleashes from 35 yards to force a fingertip save from Ambrosio. Great effort

  22. 72'

    Now Reyes is more of a threat as he seizes on a deflection from Gallas to fire left-footed. Ambrosio palms away before Gronkjaer is pole-axed by Cole's follow-up cross

  23. 72'

    Reyes' cross is no problem for Gallas to head clear

  24. 71'

    Lauren comes up for the throw but there's little on offer and the Gunners plays it back to Lehmann to hoof

  25. 70'

    Gallas clears under pressure from Henry
