- 90'
Two members of the 1955 Chelsea championship team bring the Premier League trophy onto the pitch with a guard of Chelsea Pensioners.
- 90'
After a year of terrible PR Chelsea are pulling out all the stops today. The Chelsea team of 1955 are on the pitch with the old league trophy - they won the championship on the last day of the season away from home and never got to parade the trophy - 50 years on they do. Nice.
- 90'
The game turned out to be something of a secondary concern; Charlton worked hard and were deserving of a point. The penalty was grossly unfair; yes, there was contact, but it was outside the box. Still Makelele was deserving of a goal as it allowed his team-mates to show him their appreciation of his selfless work!
- 90'
Hugs, smiles and the obligatory Queen anthem 'We are the Champions' rings out!

That's fulltime. Makelele gets his first goal for Chelsea and the Champions congratulate eachother on a season to remember!

Konchesyk loses control of the ball after a really slick spell of Charlton passing - poor. But, all-in-all Charlton have played well today, and their fans will be happy with their graft following that 4-0 thrashing last week.
