Play by play
- 90'
Liverpool are three clear of Chelsea in this group now while Betis's hopes remain alive. All the action will be brought to you here.
- 90'
John Terry has a go at the ref but in their hearts Chelsea know they've not been anywhere near their best. Betis undid all the odds and well done to them.
- 90'
Time ticking on. This is an amazing result. Ball will be pumped in for a final chance for Chelsea. Punched away. Chelsea have lost! The first this season! Joyous scenes.
- 90'
Lampard's cross cleared. No decent ball for them. Fernando misses a chance to get a cross in.
- 90'
Chelsea have a throw. Injury-time now. Desperation. Dani booked for stopping a quick free-kick.
- 89'
Joaquin wins the ball and then Duff runs into him. Betis have another free-kick. Duff booked - Chelsea's fifth.
- 88'
Betis will take their time. Joaquin bends in. Cleared by Lampard. Wright-Phillips loses a throw in.
- 87'
Carvalho clears as Joaquin crosses. Lampard's pass is poor. Juanito clears. Ferreira forced to foul Edu. Crowd cheers as a free-kick is given.
- 86'
Dani nearly got in there. Chelsea looking desperate and a little lacking in any idea up front.
- 85'
Betis's play is getting ragged. Dani milks a clash with Gallas. Lampard looks angry. Joaquin and Makelele share a joke. And a cuddle. Shades of Alan Birchenall and Tony Currie from the 70s.
- 79'
Even Lampard is off his game. Wayward shot. John Terry is pushing forward. Shades of the Huth strategy employed in last year's semi?
- 76'
Essien has a shot. Contreras muffs it. It's in the net but there's a flag up for an Essien push.
- 76'
Still time left here. Ferreira is tackled. Ragged stuff from the Londoners.
- 74'
Juanito panicked into clearing the ball. Dani panics now. Betis looking nervous.
- 73'
Terry handballs. Edge of the box free-kick chance. Joaquin will hit it of course.
- 72'
Dani down injured. He's taking his time. As should be expected. It's looking like his night.
- 71'
Amazing sequence. Duff down the left. Great ball just evades Drogba. Wright-Phillips crosses. Essien strikes. Off the post. And the other. And into the hands of Contreras. Is this Chelsea's night?
- 70'
Yellow for the man for the Ivory Coast. Betis are doing their job in breaking up play.
- 69'
Drogba plays on when the whistle blows. He gets involved in a deer-style horn-locking with keeper Contreras. He had a kick at Melli too.
- 67'
Robben has stormed off. He's not looked happy in some time. Perhaps he should do a warts-and-all interview on Chelsea TV.
- 67'
SWP is penalised for foot-up. Though considering the protagonist, no-one's head has been endangered.
- 65'
Tempers fray as Carvalho and Melli clash. The Betis man is booked.
- 65'
Duff on for the ineffective Robben. He's needed. Joaquin at the other end gets round the back but doesn't get the cross in.
- 64'
Makelele and Dani clash. But the claim for an elbow is denied by the ref.
- 64'
Essien tries to shoot. It's a terribly poor attempt. Contreras waves it past ironically.
