Play by play
- 90'
Full-time. A fairly uninspiring game, but Chelsea won't much care about that. Hasselbaink's penalty has won it for them, and in the end it could have been a bigger margin. Charlton didn't manage to test Chelsea stand-in Neil Sullivan even once. It's difficult to get away from it - Scott Parker will be missed
- 90'
Into the two minutes of injury time, and Mutu has another bang at goal. It's a couple of yards wide this time
- 90'
Kishishev's slip allows Gronkjaer to sprint away. The ball is worked to Gudjohnsen, but Fish gets in the way again
- 89'
Jensen's searching ball seeks out Bartlett and Sullivan is slow to come off his line. The referee comes to his rescue though, blowing for high feet from Bartlett
- 88'
What does Mutu have to do to score? Gudjohnsen sprints clear on the right and puts it on a plate for his partner five yards out. But Kiely gets across to deny Mutu a first home goal in five months with a brilliant stop
- 87'
Mutu is making a real nuisance of himself, and he robs Young before testing Kiely with a low drive
- 86'
Charlton need a goal, but Chelsea look the more likely scorers still
- 85'
Gudjohnsen launches Chelsea forward, and when Fish fails to clear Johnson's cross Mutu smashes a left-footed drive against the angle of post and bar
- 82'
Charlton bring it clear from Mutu's kick, and as the striker attempts to atone he tugs back Johansson and becomes the second man in the book
- 82'
Another chance for Mutu, who gets a bit more meat behind his shot. Fish gets himself in the way at the expense of a corner
- 81'
Down the other end, and Gudjohnsen picks out Mutu who leaves Kiely on his backside only to slice horribly wide
- 80'
Sullivan is floundering as Jensen's dipping cross goes over his head. But it shaves the wrong side of the upright and Chelsea breathe again
- 79'
Chelsea's defending has become a bit nervy., and Johnson concedes a free-kick close to the left-hand corner with a late one on Johansson
- 77'
First touch for Bartlett, and it's a presentable chance. Jensen's cross picks him out, but there's far too much on the South African's header and it sails over
- 76'
Johnson almost produces a rerun of his winner at Blackburn last week, but his shot is charged down
- 76'
The corner is Konchesky's last involvement. He's off and striker Shaun Bartlett is on
- 75'
Konchesky swings in the corner, Holland attacks but skews his header well wide
- 75'
Di Canio and Holland work an opening. Huth intervenes but puts his clearance barely a foot wide of his own post. Charlton's best effort!
- 74'
Off goes the goalscorer Hasselbaink, and Icelander Eidur Gudjohnsen will play the final 15 minutes
- 73'
It is Konchesky, but his effort is way off radar and Sullivan isn't tested
- 72'
Good bit of pressure from the visitors, and Huth is penalised for a push 30 yards from goal. Konchesky looks like he fancies this
- 71'
Sullivan looks a bit panicky as Johansson puts his footwork to the test, and the keeper slices his clearance
- 71'
Mutu and Hasselbaink exchange passes but Young puts the Romanian off as he's about to let fly
- 69'
Bridge swings over a teasing cross, and Kiely holds on well under Hasselbaink's sturdy shoulder-barge
- 68'
A bit more vim about the game now as Charlton go in search of an equaliser. There'll be gaps which Chelsea might exploit on the break
