Chelsea vs Real Betis

Despite a slow start Chelsea showed their class to steamroller Betis. Can anyone stop this team?

The ref blows up for full-time

The loose ball comes to Joaquin but Del Horno blocks his shot from 20 yards

Corner to Betis - chance for a consolation. Assuncao takes but fails to beat the first man

Three minutes to be added on

Essien picks up the loose ball, he comes forward through the centre and has options left and right - but he stupidly goes for the shot which hits row Z

Essien is pulled back by Rivera - and he becomes the latest player to enter the referee's notebook

Crespo thinks he's through for a second, but he loses the marginal offside decision

Cole comes forward on the right, but he ignores the intelligent running of Crespo and instead hits a tame shot, off target, which Doblas can claim

Another free-kick for Chelsea on the right. Lampard, as usual, takes and this time Terry is within a whisker of making contact with his head

Corner to Betis now. Joaquin trudges over to the right to deliver but Juanito can only head it away from the goal

Gallas shows great strength to hold off Xisco, but again he is felled by the Betis substitute

The ref has to calm it down and in the end hands a booking to both Xisco and Gallas

Xisco and Gallas challenge for a ball in front of the bench, and the Chelsea man gets the decision. But Xisco takes exception to something and shoves the Frenchman - and then it's handbags as the two push and shove

Oliveira crosses from the right for the head of Edu, his header from the edge of the box lacks venom and it directly into the arms of Cudicini

Despite the scoreline, Betis have not wilted and continue to look for a way to get on the scoresheet. Credit to them.

Juanito fouls Gudjohnsen in midfield, free-kick

Cole now looks for options on the right of the box. He spots Gudjohnsen free at the back stick - his first time volley is saved and the second crashes back off the post - oh, hold on, the flag was up for offside

Chelsea hand a debut to Lassana Diarra, a summer signing from Le Havre, in place of Claude Makelele

Cole breaks down the right, and passes first time without looking up. Crespo is far post rather than near enabling Doblas to pick up

Essien goes in two-footed to win the ball ahead of Rivera. Shades of Tal Ben Haim there - this time he won the ball but it's still a free-kick for dangerous play

Xisco attempts a speculative shot from 25-yards. Ambitious to say the least and well over

Gudjohnsen looks to be through on goal - but he's a mile offside from the pass by Makelele

No! Joaquin is booked for diving! Del Horno did dive in a little, and though he did make contact with the Betis wide man it was perhaps the Spaniard deliberately moving into this leg-line. Still, a harsh booking and we've all seen them given

Betis break now, they have men over and Joaquin is fed in on the right of the box. He looks to get past Del Horno who goes down early - and then so does Joaquin. Penalty!
