Chelsea vs Aston Villa

1. 90'

   <b>It's been a staggering day for them, and it ends with a stunning scoreline: it finishes Chelsea 8, Aston Villa 0.</b>

2. 90'

   Free-kick to Chelsea, inside their own half. Everything they try is coming off: one-touch passing, flicks, the works.

3. 90'

   <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL: Too long already: the ball is worked to Ramires between the edge of the area and the penalty spot, and he dispatches it past Guzan. It's eight for Chelsea.</b>

4. 90'

   There will be three minutes of added time: three minutes more than Villa would have wanted.

5. 89'

   But Guzan stops him making it eight - a fine save from the Villa keeper, who pushes the kick away right-handed.

6. 88'

   Piazon, on his Premier League debut, will take this one.

7. 87'

   Piazon goes into the area, and is brought down. It's another Chelsea penalty, and it could be eight.

8. 86'

   Benteke's theme of the afternoon is happening again - another offside flag.

9. 85'

   Luiz is the latest Chelsea player to fancy a shot - this one, though, is blocked on the edge of the area.

10. 84'

    They have been annihilated here, and with five minutes - plus stoppage time - to go, is it going to get worse?

11. 83'

    Shellshocked Villa are still trying to put some passing together, but they look collectively stunned.

12. 83'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL: And he slams an absolute screamer into the top corner - another great finish and it's SEVEN for Chelsea. A festive nightmare for Villa.</b>

13. 82'

    Hazard is twisting and turning on the left-hand side of the area, buying himself space.

14. 81'

    You'd imagine they would like to avoid yet more damage but, with ten minutes or so left, that may not be the case.

15. 80'

    They have ten minutes of this endurance test left.

16. 79'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Bowery on and Holman off for Villa, who you would imagine will be glad just to get away from Stamford Bridge at the end of a horrible afternoon for them.

17. 79'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL: And he blasts it in - it's six for Chelsea.</b>

18. 78'

    Herd looks perplexed, but the decision stands and Oscar will take.

19. 77'

    Oscar goes into the area, where Herd is trying to stop him. There's not much to it, but Phil Dowd says penalty.

20. 76'

    Lovely skill from Bennett on the Villa left, but his team-mates can't make anything of it and Chelsea come forward again.

21. 75'

    That fifth goal could have arrived before it did - but it was beautifully worked, and powerfully dispatched beyond Villa's overworked keeper.

22. 74'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL: He looks up and finds a peach of a pass to play Ramires through the middle. His fellow substitute strikes it hard and low beyond Guzan, and Chelsea have five.</b>

23. 73'

    It's snuffed out, but the ball comes back to Chelsea and Piazon has it.

24. 72'

    Villa are still trying to do all the right things, but they're not coming off, and there's another break on for the Blues...

25. 71'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif">Lucas Piazon is on for Juan Mata - a Premier League debut for Piazon.
