Play by play
- 93'
Chelsea win again. Yawn. Hopefully Barcelona will throw up more of a challenge than Everton, who could just not live with Chelsea tonight. A fine all round performance from Chelsea and Wright-Philips in particular can be pleased with his evening's work. Everton are now free to concentrate on the league, where they face Blackburn at the weekend.
- 93'
FULL TIME
- 91'
Gallas has been booked but it is not particularly clear what for. As it is his fifth yellow card of the season though he earns himself a suspension.
- 89'
Two minutes of injury time to be played.
- 88'
The strength in depth Chelsea possess and the fine performances from some fringe players this evening probably explains why Chelsea are still keen to attack and want more goals.
- 87'
Arteta has delivered yet another corner in to Chelsea's penalty area but you know the story by now. Everton have won tonight's corner count at least.
- 86'
A strong challenge from man mountain Huth on Arteta. Steady on lad, there's only four minutes left.
- 83'
A jinking run through the middle by Essien ends when his shot is defelcted for a corner. Geremi hits it in but Gallas could not get goal side of Hibbert to strike the ball.
- 82'
A wonderful long range shot from Wright-Phillips but Turner gets down well to parry it away.
- 80'
Lee Carsley is coming as a sub for Osman . It is the first time the Irishman has played this season.
- 78'
Osman tries to launch an attack but he is met with a blue wall which he can not breach. Hopefully for Everton tonight's result will not impact on their recent good form in the Premiership.
- 76'
Geremi is on for Chelsea and it is the indefatigable Lampard who is taken off. Another marvellous performance from Lampard tonight.
- 76'
Lampard and Wright-Phillips are still tormenting Everton and Wright-Phillips hits a good cross in from the by-line which Turner does well to intercept.
- 75'
John Terry has scored nearly thirty goals for Chelsea now. Which is pretty good really.
- 73'
Free-kick to Chelsea in a dangerous spot. Huth smacks it against the wall but his defensive partner, John Terry, is on hand to bury the ball home from six yards and to extinguish what little chance of an Everton comeback there may have been.
- 73'
GOAL
- 71'
Cahill is booked for a foul on Wright-Philips.
- 70'
Arteta slots the ball low in to the corner sending the keeper the wrong way. Game on? Hmmm.
- 70'
GOAL
- 70'
Cahill wins a challenge in the centre and from the resulting attack Robert Huth is rather harshly penalised for a handball . Penalty to Everton...
- 68'
Yet another corner to Everton and it is the same old story as Chelsea head the ball to safety.
- 67'
Joe Cole shows good vision to set up Maniche but some fine Everton tackling denies them. Chelsea come back for more through Lampard who nutmegs David Weir but can't finish it.
- 66'
Joe Cole may feel he has something to prove tonight as Wright-Phillips has put in an impressive performance.
- 65'
The corner flag is broken. Tee hee!
- 64'
Robben has come off for Cole.
