Stoke City vs Chelsea

1. 95'

   <b>FULL TIME</b> Terry nods clear and that is that. Chelsea should have won, and will point to a few credible penalty claims, but they just didn't create enough chances in front of goal. A low key start for AVB.

2. 94'

   Walters is barged by Cole and Stoke have a free kick wide right.

3. 93'

   Drogba's effort hits the wall, then he and Alex get in each other's way before Ramires drags one wide.

4. 92'

   Good work from Drogba, who wins a free kick 25 yards out and central with some neat footwork, even though he was on the deck.

5. 91'

   Stoke resorting to up and unders now.

6. 90'

   Five minutes added.....

7. 89'

   Bosingwa strikes towards goal but Lampard gets in the way and offside.

8. 89'

   <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Torres goes off and Benayoun has three minutes or so to make an impact.

9. 88'

   Shotton is on throw in duty with Delap incapacitated and though Cech and Mikel make a mess of it, Halsey rewards them with a free kick.

10. 87'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Lampard is booked for throwing the ball away. A wry smirk from Frank.

11. 86'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Kenwyne Jones trots off and Ryan Shotton comes on. He's a defender, we are told.

12. 85'

    Alex tries a howitzer from range but gets it all wrong.

13. 84'

    Chelsea will be mighty annoyed if they don't extract three points from this lacklustre match.

14. 83'

    Cech comes out to claim a lofted ball into the area after the initial free kick was cleared.

15. 82'

    A rare Stoke forray downfield yields a free kick. Box loaded.

16. 81'

    Chelsea free kick 30 yards out. Drogba strikes but Begovic saves easily enough.

17. 80'

    More tussling between Shawcross and Terry, another word from Halsey.

18. 79'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Wilson is booked for obstructing Bosingwa, who was charging down the right flank.

19. 78'

    Torres has looked very lively today, another nice run then and a trick to win a corner.

20. 77'

    Sharp turn and shot from Torres, and a brilliant save from Begovic, but all meaningless as the striker was offside.

21. 76'

    Alex rises to nod Lampard's free kick towards goal but it is comfortable for Begovic.

22. 75'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Time for Drogba, but Kalou makes way. Anelka, Torres and the Drog all now on the pitch.

23. 74'

    Stoke pretty much spent as an attacking force now and relying on the odd counter.

24. 73'

    Begovic is in action again as Torres dinks in for Kalou but his header is right at the keeper. Chelsea piling it on now..

25. 72'

    Superb save! Anelka tries to chip Begovic from an acute angle but the big keeper gets a fingertip on it to send the ball onto the bar.
