Play by play

94'
FULL TIME Chelsea enjoy a comfortable win thanks to a Gael Givet own goal and strikes from Lampard (2), Drogba and Essien. That was truly emphatic.
93'
From the resulting free-kick, Diouf's effort is saved by Cech.
92'
Essien is penalised for a messy tackle on Kalinic and in the build-up, Diouf went in hard on Ivanovic.
90'
We will have three additional minutes at Stamford Bridge.
87'
Ouch, John Terry clatters his good friend Frank Lampard and plunges his knee into the midfielder's mouth. That will have hurt.
86'
Brett Emerton tries to jink his way into the box and Chelsea fail to clear properly, eventually allowing El Hadji Diouf to shoot wide.
85'
Robinson makes yet another save to deny Lampard who fires one in from outside the box. This has been a battering of the highest order.
84'
El Hadji Diouf floats a shot well, well wide, to the general amusement of the home supporters.
82'
Nzonzi lets one fly from the edge of the box but Frank Lampard is alert and blocks his effort. Chelsea really have done a superb job all over the pitch this evening.
82'
Ballack drives another shot wide. After conceding six at Arsenal and five today, Sam Allardyce won't be amused to see that his next away game comes at Old Trafford.
79'
A volley from 20 yards from Michael Ballack soars wide. But when you are 5-0 up, why not try something like that?
78'
Ryan Nelsen produces a strong tackle to nick the ball away from Anelka as the striker bursts into the box.
78'
My bad, it is Joe Cole who comes off so Chelsea are adopting an even more attacking shape.
77'
Chelsea are readying Daniel Sturridge so it looks as though either Drogba or Anelka will be afforded a bit of a rest.
75'
Anelka forces Robinson into another stop when unleashing a fierce drive from outside the box. The 'keeper has really earned his money today.
74'
Hoillett just about sums up Blackburn's afternoon with a woeful shot. Maybe it was a pass. Either way it was horrendous.
72'
Another lovely move from Chelsea fails to pay dividends as Ballack's shot is blocked. The Blues are really in their element today.
71'
Now Lampard releases Ivanovic with a perfect through-ball but the full back overstretches and gets his cross all wrong.
70'
Nicolas Anelka finds Frank Lampard with a glorious reverse pass but the midfielder cannot pick out a Chelsea shirt.
69'
Junior Hoillett replaces Morten Gamst Pedersen for Blackburn.
67'
That fifth goal appears to have provoked a semblance of a reaction from Rovers who look a bit more sprightly. Too little, too late.
67'
Ancelotti introduces Jeffrey Bruma and the young Dutchman makes his debut when replacing Ricardo Carvalho.
66'
Blackburn burst forward and Martin Olsson chips the ball over the stranded Cech, but just when the visitors look like scoring, back comes John Terry to head off the line.
64'
GOAL! Michael Ballack swings in a corner and Didier Drogba gets ahead of his man to flick a header past Paul Robinson. This is a bit embarrassing for Blackburn. Horrible defending from Ryan Nelsen.
63'
El Hadji Diouf produces a fine saving tackle to deny Frank Lampard a hat-trick as Chelsea continue to pour forward.
