Play by play

93'
Jose Mourinho, wearing a Portugal scarf, joins his victorious players on the pitch as they hug and celebrate in the centre circle! The trophy will soon be presented and the party will begin!
93'
The final whistle goes and Chelsea are the Champions after emphatically beating their closest rivals 3-0 on their home ground. It doesn't get much sweeter than that!
92'
The ball goes out for a throw, but it doesn't come back and someone has a very nice souvenir!
91'
Mourinho leaves the bench and walks to the United dugout to shake hands with Alex Ferguson. The game goes on, but the celebrations have started on the touchline...
90'
Three minutes of added time signalled.
89'
They might not have played the most exciting brand of football this season but you can't argue with their Champions' credentials based on toady's performance.
88'
So, as Chelsea knock the ball around the pitch, the chant 'Champions, Champions' echoes around the ground.
87'
Terry is limping badly - his movement is seriously restriced, but the hero will not leave the battle until it is won.
86'
Saha messes around with the ball and is tackled by Terry - why the striker just didn't pass it is beyond me.
85'
That was Drogba's last involvement - he leaves the pitch to warm, but not extravagant applause. On in his stead is Maniche.
84'
Crespo and Drogba unite to miss the chance of bagging a 4th.
83'
Chelsea move up the pitch with Gallas, but Neville nicks the ball off his foot.
82'
The clock ticks relentlessly on after that injury hiatus - we'll have some stoppage time for that incident.
79'
Lampard and Terry lead the applause as Rooney to carried off. The implications of this moment are not good and everyone at the Bridge knows is. Rooney's face shows the pain he feels physically and the anxiety of a young man who knows he is seriously injured on the eve of the World Cup.
78'
He is flat out, and clearly an anxious young man. Is it the same injury to the same foot he damaged in Euro 2004 against Portugal?
77'
England's World Cup hopes are taking a beating today - First Terry, but now, much more seriously, Rooney is down and needs the stretcher to leave the pitch.
76'
Oh dear. While on the subject of injuries, Wayne Rooney is down and in agony clutching his right foot...
75'
Somehow Terry is still on the pitch. I hope he isn't playing on when he should be getting treatment. One can appreciate why he would want to play on today of all days, but aggravating an injury would not help his World Cup dreams.
74'
Joe Cole leaves to applause to be replaced with Aerosmith stunt double Hernan Crespo - Dude looks like a lady...
73'
It has been a great performance from Chelsea today. United were expected to make things a lot more difficult for the Champions-in-waiting; but they have proved to be no match.
71'
Carvalho won the ball in his own half and instead of passing off he drove forward. His run created a 5 on 3 situation, Cole collected the ball, movement from Drogba and Duff created space for Carvalho and he lashed his shot into the goal to secure a second title for Chelsea.
71'
Great goal for Chelsea - 3-0 to the Champions!
70'
Cole nearly bagged a second for him and a third for Chelsa after spinning and collecting a pass from Drogba, but his effort was blocked
69'
Independently of each other Giggs and Terry are down and injured. Giggs look OK, but Terry could be forced off. Sven holds his breath - an injury to his only in-form centre half a month before the World Cup would not be ideal!
68'
'Stand up for the Champions' is the cry around Stamford Bridge.
