Play by play
Thanks for tuning in. We will be back with more commentary tomorrow night for the Europa League. See you then.
Exhibition stuff in the end, and two goals for Torres, but it is too little too late.
But it is not enough to keep Chelsea in the Champions League. They become the first Champions League winners to exit the competition in the group stage.
- 90'
FULL TIME: Chelsea 6-1 Nordsjaelland at Stamford Bridge.
- 90'
Torres goes through one-on-one with the goalkeeper, his hat-trick is on but his tame shot is straight into Hansen's arms. Waste.
- 88'
Cross from the left by Torres finds Moses with his back to goal but his backheeled effort is saved.
- 87'
Lots of fans piling out of Stamford Bridge, the situation must be hopeless.
- 85'
Free kick on the edge of the area after Hazard's winding run is ended by a crude foul. Luiz gets it over the wall and towards the top corner but his measured effort dips just over the bar.
- 84'
Cahill and Luiz are linking up on the right wing as Chelsea continue to look for their seventh goal. It is still a pointless exercise as Juventus continue to lead.
- 82'
Oscar's cross from the right finds Cahill who knocks down into Torres' path but Hansen saves well from the contact Torres gets on the ball, which isn't much.
- 81'
Hazard's cross finds Torres in the box, he juggles the box three or four times as he tries to tee himself up but with his back to goal he can't do it and lays it off to Oscar instead whose drilled shot is saved. Corner.
- 79'
Torres goes to ground in the box after a shove - a clear penalty - but after already giving three tonight the referee doesn't consider it and waves away the appeals.
- 79'
Ferreira breaks with purpose down the right, but collides with his team-mate Moses, perhaps giving a clue at how little he is on the wavelength of his team nowadays.
- 77'
Easy to see why Nordsjaelland have the worst defensive record in this competition - completely overpowered.
- 76'
A poor goal kick by Hansen is cheered, it is scuffed but fortunately lands at the feet of one of his defenders rather than one of the opposition's attackers
- 74'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Juan Mata departs, Paulo Ferreira comes on to replace him and make his first appearance of the season.
- 70'
20 minutes remain - Juventus still lead 1-0 against Shakhtar meaning the margin of Chelsea's win is ultimately fruitless.
- 70'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Oscar fires homes Chelsea's sixth after Nordsjaelland loses possession just outside their own box allowing Mata to send the Brazilian through on goal. The home side have completely overwhelmed their opposition tonight.
- 70'
The game has become something of a glorified training ground exercise with Chelsea's various attacking options taking it in turns to carve out openings for Torres to score a hat-trick.
- 67'
Chelsea are attacking relentlessly here, Mata, Moses, Hazard all finding chances for Torres in the box.
- 66'
There is no respite for Nordsjaelland - Chelsea keep attacking and only a fine save by Hansen's legs stop a sixth goal.
- 62'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> 5-1 now. Mata gets in on the act - Hazard squares the ball on the edge of the six-yard box but Hansen saves Mata's first effort, he is quick to follow up and tap into the empty net though making the scoreline emphatic.
- 62'
Torres goes down in the box looking for a penalty, and it is right in front of the referee, but it is not considered. It looked like a valid shout.
- 59'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Ryan Bertrand enters the fray, replacing Ashley Cole who picked up a knock at the end of the first half.
- 57'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Chelsea counter attack, and have an extra man, Torres feeds Hazard down the left flank and the Belgian cuts inside and plays the ball back to the Spanish striker at the near post to tap in. 4-1, Torres has two.
