Play by play
- 94'
Nicolas Anelka will be feeling similarly glum, his close-range header should have found the back of the net.
- 94'
Villa will be satisfied with the draw, but they had a massive chance to win it right at the death. Nigel Reo-Coker will not sleep well tonight.
- 94'
<b>FULL TIME</b> It's ended in a draw, a fair result given that both teams wasted chances and put a huge amount of effort into this match.
- 93'
Nigel Reo-Coker should have won it for Villa!!! He dispossesses John Terry and bares down on Cech, he clips it over the keeper, but puts it wide of the post!
- 92'
The corner is confidently caught by Petr Cech, a bit of a waste for Villa.
- 91'
Nathan Delfouneso battles forward for Villa, ultimately earning a corner as Ivanovic slides in.
- 90'
<b>FOUR MINUTES ADDED TIME</b>
- 89'
Anelka misses a glorious opportunity for Chelsea! Malouda puts a cracking cross into the box, Anelka in between the two centre backs, and six yards out he guides his header wide!
- 87'
Nathan Delfouneso is very isolated up front for Villa, his flicked header finds no one and Villa are once again on the back foot.
- 86'
Chelsea beginning to up the pressure on Villa, but they are standing firm, throwing there bodies in the way of every Chelsea attack. In the end, Ashley Cole fires a rash shot over the bar.
- 85'
Steve Sidwell's first contribution is to be caught offside from a Villa free kick, very poor.
- 84'
A disappointing performance from Ireland, he really should have put Villa in the lead with that early chance.
