Play by play
- 99'
That's that, and Chelsea go back to the top of the league in style. The penalty decision was key, as Webb denied Keane a stone-waller, but after that the Blues were very good. Thanks for your company and see you next time.
- 98'
Lampard feeds Cole and Keane gets the block on his shot. Another corner.
- 98'
Corner for Chelsea after Essien blasted one off Hutton.
- 97'
Lamaprd tries an audacious chip from a tight angle. Close Frank, but not close enough.
- 96'
Crouch has the ball in the net but he's a yard offside. He finished well though, rounding Cech and slotting home. A miserable day for Spurs is complete.
- 95'
The ole's come out as Chelsea spray it around.
- 94'
Lampard slips Kalou through on goal but his low effort is right at Cudicini and Spurs avoid shipping a fourth.
- 94'
Poor tackle from Jenas on Essien and a yellow card is produced.
- 93'
Eight minutes of stoppage time by the way, due to the Bassong injury, mainly.
- 92'
Lampard whacks it well over the bar. Disappointing. He's in my fantasy league team too. Time to start pulling your weight Frank.
- 91'
Chelsea win a free kick and Lampard will have a crack. Its left of the box...
- 90'
He's Italian and came from Bologna apparently.
- 89'
Fabio Borini is coming on for Anelka. Yes. I know. Who?
- 87'
Good chance for Kalou as Malouda feeds him inside the box, Kalou's effort hits the post, then cannons off Cudicini and behind for a corner.
- 87'
Kalou wins a corner off Assou-Ekotto.
- 86'
Finally, some football. Crouch complains that Cole jumped into him in the box. He did, and it was a foul but Webb was never going to give a penalty.
- 85'
Kalou has replaced him.
- 84'
Now Drogba leaves on a stretcher. That treatment table is getting rather full.
- 83'
Drogba is hobbling off and is grimacing every time his right leg hits the turf. He's calling for a stretcher now. We'll be here till midnight at this rate.
- 82'
Drogba nows has a pop at goal and sinks to the floor after it, claiming some sort of injury.
- 81'
Kranjcar comes on to replace Bassong and Huddlestone goes to centre back, a position he used to play at Derby.
- 80'
Bassong's stretcher is hoisted and he leaves the field to applause from all sides. He still looks in a really bad way.
- 79'
Drogba is getting heavily involved for some reason. As if he's telling the medics what to do.
- 78'
The oxygen mask is now on and Bassong will be leaving the ground shortly on a stretcher. We wish him well.
- 77'
This looks nasty, Bassong's head hit the floor very hard and it has clearly concussed him. THe medics are putting a neck brace on him at the moment and oxygen is at the ready. Poor lad.
