Play by play
- 95'
That is a huge win for Chelsea and one they deserved too. They pressed for long periods, created chances and finally broke the deadlock through Mata. All the action came in the space of a few minutes at the end. Chelsea now third and can move six clear of Spurs if they win on Wednesday.
- 95'
<b>FULL TIME</b> - Chelsea win!
- 94'
Torres nods clear and Chelsea break, Ramires cuts in and shoots wide.
- 93'
Torres gives away his second free kick in a matter of minutes.
- 92'
Chelsea going third as things stand. Arsenal and Tottenham very unhappy.
- 91'
Rafael was very late but I'm not sure that was a straight red. Luiz went down laughing almost, then it all kicked off. Some drama at last I suppose. Four added minutes.
- 90'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Hernandez replaces Valencia. And Ake replaces Mata for Chelsea.
- 89'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/red_card.jpg" height="15"> Its getting tasty now - Rafael clatters Luiz and sees red. He was very late. then Oscar wants a card, Giggs protests, Ramires gets involved. All very messy.
- 88'
Massive for Chelsea - and reward for their efforts. Ramires gets the ball from Rooney, brings it forward, lays off to Oscar, he finds Mata and his shot flicks off Jones and finds the corner.
- 87'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Mata scores!
- 86'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> He walks away, then goes back for more. Is booked. Awful from Webb.
- 85'
Luiz tackles RVP and wins the corner, Webb gives it the other way, Luiz goes nuts.
- 84'
Bit of afters from RVP and Torres after Chelsea win a foul. Linesman Sian Massey screams at them from the sidelines: "Be careful."
- 83'
Luiz takes it ... terribly. Not even close. Wow. Sums up the game really.
- 82'
Torres enquires as to whether Howard Webb is "blind" after he fails to win a corner. Now Mata wins a free kick after a bump from Evra. Right on the edge of the box.
- 81'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Jones blocks Ramires who wanted to break from the corner and gets a card.
- 80'
Rafael gets into the area after a good run from Giggs, his cross flicks off Ivanovic and hits the side-netting.
- 79'
Lots of niggly fouls in the second half. Twelve minutes left to avoid a 0-0.
- 78'
Lindegaard and Ivanovic go for Mata's corner. Result? Another corner.
- 77'
What a chance! Lampard crosses for Mata who is absolutely free but the delivery is just half a yard ahead of the Spaniard.
- 76'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Moses makes way for Torres, the man in the mask.
- 75'
Azpilicueta goes down claiming an arm from Buttner, completely accidental. No intent there. Benitez shouts at him to get up and track back.
- 74'
Evra neglects to shoot, sending it wide for Buttner but his cross is cleared.
- 73'
Valencia finally delivers a decent cross but Rooney can't direct a header on target.
- 72'
Such a bad pass from Oscar as Chelsea had five on four - his ball for Cole is cut out, United counter and win a corner.
