Play by play
- 93'
So, that point means Chelsea stay in sixth, two points off both Newcastle and Tottenham. Not a great showing, solid enough, but they can now turn their attention to the FA Cup semi-final with Tottenham.
- 93'
<b>FULL TIME </b> Clattenberg blows for full time in an entertaining game in which Fulham thoroughly merited a point. They finally got it through Clint Dempsey's 16th Premier League goal of the season. Frank Lampard gave Chelsea the lead after a baffling penalty award from the referee.
- 93'
Good block from Kelly as Bertrand tried to cross. Dying stages...
- 92'
Lucky Schwarzer, lucky! He came for a long punt, fumbled, but picked it up on the first bounce.
- 91'
Etuhu can't prevent a corner. Big chance...
- 90'
Three minutes of added time....
- 89'
Chelsea doing more pressing now. Is there another goal in this one?

- 87'
A good chance for Dembele to play Sa through but he delays forever and the flag goes up.
- 86'
Another free header from a corner - Orlando Sa this time - but Cech can save that one comfortably.
- 85'
Oh dear Riise! Sprung through by Dempsey, the left back takes an awful touch, goes wide and has hit shot blocked.
- 84'
So, how adventuruous do Fulham want to be? They've been the better team by far in the second half but will a point be enough for them?
- 83'
Someone on the back post would have booted that clear easily. Still amazes me teams neglect to cover both posts.
- 82'
Chelsea switched off after Cech's brilliant save, Dempsey rose with a free header and it creeps in the back post as there was no-one on it.
- 82'

- 81'
What a save! Unbelievable stop from Cech from a point blank Hughes header!
- 80'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Kelly's ball forward wins a corner as Diarra comes off for Orlando Sa.
- 79'
A decent effort from Dempsey but before that a really good interception from Bertrand as Dembele looked to race clear.
- 78'
I think even Fulham's fans are resigning themselves to a 1-0 defeat. Still time left though....
- 77'
More poor delivery from Duff, again, only Dempsey in the box. Fulham are fading fast here.
- 76'
Fulham have had 59% possession in the last five minutes. All very well, but it is goals they need and chances.
- 75'
Better from Fulham - a good interchange between Dempsey and Duff and another cross but a good clearing header from Ivanovic.
- 74'

Duff now clipped by Bertrand, free kick given.
