Play by play

Join us again tomorrow to see if the two Manchester clubs can follow London's example.
John Brewin: ''AVB and DD the key for Cfc.''
1. Chelsea. 2. Leverkusen. 3. Valencia. 4. Genk.
A comment from our very own Richard Jolly: ''That's the best four days of the AVB era.''
A goal inside three minutes eased the pressure and Chelsea defended solidly after that. AVB can breathe again.
93'
<B>FULL-TIME: CHELSEA 3-0 VALENCIA</B>. It's not been vintage, as Valencia dominated possession, but Chelsea made it count when needed. Drogba was immense and Chelsea are through at the top of their group.
92'
Torres has a go, but that could be it..
91'
Chelsea still pushing up and Ivanovic has to hold up Aduriz. Good defending there, as Valencia got in behind for a second.
90'
Three minutes to come... if that.
89'
Sturridge with a few stepovers. He gets a sight of goal and, of course, shoots. Greed is something he needs to curb and it goes well wide.
87'
Lots of fouls, Valencia are shot. The ref would blow up now and put them out of their misery if he could.
86'
Sturridge breaks, but the frustration is kicking in for Soldado who is called up for a foul. He does look angry - probably because he has not had a kick all game.
85'
The game is petering out. If Valencia are keen to make a late charge, they might want to start round about now...
82'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Mata off, Malouda comes on.
82'
AVB shown smiling on the bench. He's been under such pressure that this result will be welcome relief with Man City to come at the weekend.
80'
Cech forced to push the ball clear again. He will have earned his clean sheet if he gets it.
79'
Luiz can't go a game without doing something silly. He hammers a shot from the halfway line that fails miserably.
78'
Alves gets the ball back and juggles as Torres bears down on him. Just clears it in time.
77'
Torres burst of pace saves the ball and Ruiz clatters him immediately. No foul though and he's spitting already.
76'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Drogba off, he's earned his rest. £50m of Fernando Torres comes on.
76'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Costa off, Parejo on.
76'
John Brewin: ''Drogba power is back. A year on from the obituaries, he is still the man.''
75'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Cracking goal. Drogba again. Mata controls and slips him though. Dinks the ball over Alves. 3-0 and it's game over.
73'
Gary Neville just said that this is the best Chelsea have played all season. It isn't. Although if they go through, they won't care.
72'
Drogba misses when through on goal. Rami falls over after a long ball chase and the Ivorian finds himself bearing down on Alves. He made it a tough angle and then shot wide.
