Play by play
That's it from us, another exhausting night of thrills, spills, goals and action is at an end.
With Liverpool losing to Swansea tonight and Norwich beating Tottenham, Chelsea will feel they have a great chance of going all the way in the Capital One Cup. Don't forget Man City are already out.
Daniel Sturridge and Ramires looked to have won it for the hosts, but Ryan Giggs penalty, the third of the game, made Chelsea sweat for the win.
After going behind three times Chelsea struck back to earn extra time thanks to Eden Hazard's last-minute penalty.
