Portsmouth vs Chelsea

1. 90'

   Whistle goes and Chelsea have won the match 2-0. the result is harsh on Portsmouth who contributed to an excellent contest. Pompey fans will be wondering how they failed to take at least a point with the chances they had but, despite being on top for large periods, the home side did not make the most of their superiority and the impressive Chelsea defence stood up to them well. Chelsea were more clinical and move to within 6 points of leaders Arsenal on a night when second placed Manchester Unit

2. 90'

   Snap shot from Hasselbaink as he chases his 100th league goal is powerful but misdirected

3. 90'

5. 89'

   3 minutes of added time is announced

6. 88'

   Portsmouth create something through LuaLua, Yakubu - who plays a wonderfully weighted ball for Mornar to chase. Unselfishly he centres when a shot was on but Terry, sliding back to cover, stops it getting to a Blue shirt

   Portsmouth are throwing men forward in an effort to get something late on but the Chelsea back line are able to repel them

10. 83'

    Substitution for Portsmouth sees Berkovic, who has run himself ragged, make way for Matthew Taylor

11. 82'

    Straight away Chelsea break into the space Pompey are now leaving at the back. Hasselbaink is fresh enough to out pace Pasanen but the angle is too narrow and he hits the side netting with his shot

12. 81'

    Great ball in from the left by Yakubu. the outswinging cross is heading towards Mornar on the penalty spot but Terry, again, gets in front to avert the danger

13. 80'

    Stefanovic is shown yellow after a bad foul on Hasselbaink. The Dutchman gets up to take the resulting free kick. While Pompey are still preparing he tries a quick low shot but it trickles through without troubling Hislop

14. 79'

    A wonder ball from Lampard sends Hasselbaink free over the top. As Hislop comes out, the striker lifts the ball over his head only for it to come back off the crossbar. Crespo, however, as all strikers should, is following in and chests the ball over the line. 2-0 Chelsea

15. 77'

    Crespo is booked for diving in the Portsmouth box after going down like a girl. the fall was theatric but replays show that he had a case after the defender put a leg out as he turned

    From the corner a good delivery gives Yakubu a half chance but he is reaching backwards to head and can't direct it on target

17. 75'

    Played short and all they eventually get from it is a corner

21. 71'

    Free kick from Berkovic clips the wall and sails over Sullivan's goal for a corner

22. 70'

    Hesitant defending from Chelsea allows Pompey to regain possession on the edge of the box when it should have been cleared. LuaLua is fouled before he can soot

23. 69'

    Gudjohnsen makes way for Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink

24. 68'

    Disputed corner ball is played quickly across the goal but Terry, yet again, is alive to the danger and is fouled in the process of cutting out the cross

25. 67'

    Portsmouth are certainly having their chances as the game becomes more stretched but they need to start making them count if they are to get anything from this match
