  2. 90'

    The stage is currently being constructed on the pitch, as Chelsea's coronation as Champions approaches.

  3. 90'

    John Terry says that it's been "three years of hurt" since Chelsea last won the Premier League, under Jose Mourinho in 2006.

  4. 90'

    Didier Drogba, the golden boot winner, is dancing in front of the fans with a blue and white Chelsea scarf wrapped around his head. He looks ridiculous but he doesn't care! Chelsea are jubilant.

  5. 90'

    The final whistle starts what will be a long night of celebrations in west London. Chelsea are Premier League Champions 2009-2010.

  6. 90'

    The champagne is flowing! Chelsea have won their fourth league title and their first under Carlo Ancelotti.

  7. 90'

    A fine finish from Cole and that's the end of a great day and a great season for Chelsea.

  8. 89'

    8-0 Chelsea! Ashley Cole puts the cherry on top this fine performance from Chelsea. Joe Cole made it brilliantly by battling with Boyce for the ball, he somehow manged to get a cross into the box and Ashley Cole volleys the ball in expertly.

  9. 88'

    N'Zogbia dances into the Chelsea box after Moses beats Terry to the ball but it's Joe Cole, of all people, who gets back and saves Chelsea with a great tackle.

  10. 86'

    Moses reminds Chelsea that the game, if not the title race, is not yet over with a great effort from 25 yards. His left footed shot is tipped over by an alert Cech.

  11. 85'

    With 5 minutes to go, Carlo Ancelotti has stood up from the Chelsea technical area to an ovation from the Chelsea fans. He has finally admitted then, that the Premier League is over.

  12. 83'

    Terry goes flying into a tackle full blooded and is lucky not to receive a yellow card.

  13. 82'

    N'Zogbia thinks he is through on goal, but he is offside. Cech saves his tame shot anyway.

  14. 81'

    Malouda shuffles into a bit of space in the box but fires over from 15 yards.

  15. 80'

    That was training ground stuff from Chelsea, who are not settling for 7!

  16. 79'

    Beletti's throughball to the lively Joe Cole is perfect, Joe Cole's shot was saved and Drogba was there to tap in to score the easiest goal he'll ever score.

  17. 78'

    GOAL! Drogba taps in to make it 7-0 Chelsea!

  18. 76'

    Anelka dinks a cross in from the left, Joe Cole flicks it on to Drogba, but the Ivorian seemed to be deceived by the spin on the ball as it bounces off him and goes out for a goal kick. Drogba will be disappointed he couldn't grab a hat-trick there.

  19. 74'

    Matic tries his luck, left footed, from long distance. He pulls it wide.

  20. 73'

    Drogba thought he was one-on-one to get his third but the ref pulls the game back for a free kick. Push by Drogba.

  21. 72'

    Diame, who was on a yellow card, is replaced.

  22. 71'

    Wigan sub: Scharner on for Diame.

  23. 70'

    Ancelotti is giving the youngster Matic a run-out. Why not?

  24. 69'

    Chelsea sub: Matic on for Ballack.

  25. 68'

    Four more goals and Chelsea will surpass Tottenham's 9 goal haul against Wigan. I wouldn't bet against it.
