Play by play
- 90'
Besiktas secured a late win over Sparta Prague, which leaves the Blues three points clear at the top of their group and on the brink of the knockout stages
- 90'
There it is. A fantastic result for Chelsea, inspired by a rampant Damien Duff and assisted by the indiscipline of Sinisa Mihajlovic.
- 90'
Just a minute of stoppage time signalled and Lazio will be glad to hear the final whistle
- 90'
Johnson puts a blot on Chelsea's night with a needless second booking for kicking the ball away. He departs early with a flea in his ear from a furious Ranieri
- 89'
It's Lopez who wraps his left foot around it, but Cudicini is happy to watch the ball pass harmlessly past the post
- 89'
There could be something for the remaining few to cheer here though as Bridge fouls Corradi on the edge of the box
- 88'
'Shall we sing a song for you?' enquire the Chelsea fans politely. Not sure if there are any home fans left in the ground to answer them
- 86'
Another long chain of passes tears Lazio apart but Gudjohnsen dallies with a clear sight at goal and the chance for a fifth is lost
- 84'
A chorus of 'oles' coming from the visting support as Lazio struggle to get near the ball
- 83'
Lazio look despondent and Chelsea are playing it around waiting for a chance to pick them off
- 82'
Cudicini's played his part in this win, and he's down sharply again to scoop away Corradi's header
- 81'
Johnson goes in the book for tripping Lopez wide on the left
- 80'
Slow, slow, quick as Chelsea turn possession into a fourth goal. It's another parry from Sereni, this time guiding Gudjohnsen's piledriver straight into Lampard's path
- 79'
Ranieri urging his players to slow the pace and Duff initiates a spot of keep-ball with a 60-yard pass backwards...
- 77'
Cole gets involved straight away as he tangles with Stankovic. The referee keeps his cards to himself this time
- 76'
Joe Cole comes on for his customary 15 minutes in Veron's stead as Lazio have a corner cleared
- 75'
That's the game safe, and what a way to do it. Duff's caused mayhem all evening and a weaving run in from the left is finished off with a firm thum past Sereni. 3-0
- 74'
Straight up the other end where Cudicini dives at Muzzi's feet to foil the veteran
- 73'
Veron gets his first sight of goal all evening but it's an undistinguished left-foot drive and Sereni can clear
- 72'
Chelsea thretening to run riot now and another Lampard break ends with a blocked shot
- 72'
Liverani finds himself in the book for a word out of turn
- 71'
Double change from Lazio, who send on Roberto Muzzi and Claudio Lopez for Inzaghi and Albertini
- 70'
No mistake this time as Veron feeds Lampard, whose left-foot drive is spilled by Sereni. Another gift, and this time Gudjohnsen's the recipient
- 69'
Gronkjaer gets away down the right and his cross-shot beats both Sereni and the far post
- 69'
Sereni makes another howler from Favalli's throw-in but he gets away with it as Gudjohnsen takes the ball out
