    • - Thanks for joining us tonight... still plenty more action to come this week... starting with Manchester United and Arsenal on Wednesday night!
    • 90'+3 And that's all for tonight! The final whistle goes and Chelsea get their Champions League campaign off to the best possible start!
    • 90'+2 GOAL! ANELKA GETS HIS GOAL! It's an absolute tap-in for the Frenchman after Belletti's stunning 35 yard drive is tipped onto the bar by Rame... it falls kindly for the Chelsea striker and that's 4-0!
    • 90' Anelka can't buy a goal tonight! Belletti tees him up on the edge of the box but he fires wide of the mark!
    • 87' Ooh! Off the bar from Carvalho! Powerful free header from the Portuguese from a corner! He was in acres of space there and should really have scored...
    • 84' And that proves to be Malouda's parting shot... he is taken off and replaced by Salomon Kalou.
    • 82' GOAL! MALOUDA MAKES IT THREE! The Frenchman finishes well to round off a super Chelsea move, ending with a lovely backheel from Lampard into Malouda's path! He does the rest, finding the corner with a well struck shot across Rame!
    • 78' Chelsea have definitely eased off the gas after the break, but Scolari wants more from them now! He's screaming instructions from the touchline... two clearly isn't enough.
    • 75' Bordeaux make a change as well... off goes Fernando and on comes Ducasse.
    • 74' Joe Cole is hauled off to a rapturous reception from the Stamford Bridge crowd... and on comes Juliano Belletti.
    • 69' Wendell is caught late by Ballack... but there's handshakes all around afterwards, and no card issued.
    • 65' Here's a Bordeaux change now... Gouffran and Chamakh off, Cavenaghi and Obertan on.
    • 63' Anelka gets in behind the Bordeaux defence but his first time effort hits the sidenetting!
    • 61' Big Phil makes his first change of the night... off goes Deco and on comes Michael Ballack.
    • 59' Here come Chelsea on their most meaningful attack of the second half... Anelka feeds Cole, who manages to get the ball back to Lampard... in turn he finds Cole again, but the goalscorer's curled effort bounces wide of the post! And the flag is up, so it wouldn't have counted anyway.
    • 58' Here's the first yellow card of the night... and it's for Deco for a cynical chop on Diarra, just as the former Liverpool man was threatening to break away!
    • 52' Fernando goes close with a rasping low drive from distance! Cech will say he had it covered, but it's not that far off the mark!
    • 48' Oh dear, that's a bad challenge from Joe Cole on Diawara... the former Charlton man reacts angrily, but the referee takes no action!
    • 47' Chamakh takes a tumble, over the advertising hoardings and into the crowd... that actually looks quite nasty... but he'll be fine.
    • 46' Back underway in west London!
    • 45'+1 There goes the half-time whistle! And it's been a comfortable opening period for Chelsea. They head in at the break 2-0 up.
    • 44' Chelsea clear their lines easily though and Bordeaux will have to wait a little longer to really test Cech.
    • 43' Gourcuff again lets fly goalwards! Deflected behind for a corner, which Gourcuff himself will take.
    • 42' Carvalho's got a slightly bloodied nose here... he makes the short trip to the sidelines to get some treatment.
    • 40' Five minutes to go until half-time and Chelsea still deservedly lead by two goals...
    • 36' Oooh! Gourcuff goes close from the resulting free kick! His set piece effort flies just over Cech's bar!
    • 35' Carvalho scythes down Chamakh 25 yards out... and he's lucky not to go into the book for that one.
    • 34' WHAT A MISS FROM LAMPARD! Bosingwa (again) with the cross which is bundled towards Lampard by Malouda... he's one on one with the keeper, but can only drag his effort wide of the far post! Bad, bad miss.
    • 31' Laurent Blanc, of all people, must be fuming at that one.
    • 30' GOAL! It's been coming! Chelsea add a second through Joe Cole's near post header from the corner! It's poor defending - how does someone of Cole's stature beat three defenders to it? All he does is flick it on, giving Rame no chance!
    • 29' Malouda breaks on the Chelsea left... but his cross is easily cut out... as is a second effort moments later... Anelka expects better service than that in the middle.
    • 26' Anelka bursts free again! But he opts to pull the ball back into the box instead of going for goal... bad decision - there's no one there and the move breaks down.
    • 25' Anelka! Again it's Bosingwa whose cross causes problems in the Bordeaux box... Anelka gets a boot to it, but it goes the wrong side of the post!
    • 22' Oooh! Another chance for Chelsea! Bosingwa delivers another teasing cross... the keeper's coming out for it, but Menegazzo doesn't see him and sticks out a leg to the ball... it squirts towards goal, but Rame rights himself just in time to get a hand to it! So nearly 2-0!
    • 21' Oooh! Terry rises well to meet the corner! But his header is wide of the target! Chelsea dominating at the moment...
    • 20' And Rame is again brought into action from the corner! Bit of a scramble that one, but the keeper still had to be alert enough to stick out a boot and make the save!
    • 19' Oooh! Anelka brings Rame into action with a rasping drive from just outside the box! Decent stop from the Frenchman, who gets down, low to his right to tip behind for a corner!
    • 17' Free kick now to the visitors... Wendell takes it... but his effort hits the wall and Petr Cech won't be tested at all.
    • 15' Chelsea deserve that... they've enjoyed the better of the opening stages...
    • 14' GOAL! Chelsea take the lead as Bosingwa delivers a perfect cross from the right straight on to Lampard's head! The England man doesn't miss from there and Chelsea lead one-nil!
    • 12' Malouda does well to get past his man at the by-line... but his cross is cut out easily by the Bordeaux defence.
    • 10' Ooh! Terrible pass from Mikel in the centre of the pitch! Wendell picks it up and lets fly from 25 yards! Over Cech's bar, but that was sloppy from the Chelsea man...
    • 9' Larry White is spotted on the sidelines... he looks dapper in his spectacles and suit.
    • 8' Chelsea have started well here... they're playing the ball around nicely and Bordeaux are yet to really have a sniff.
    • 5' Cole nearly gets on the end of a clipped Deco ball through... but the ball skids off the turf and into the arms of Rame.
    • 2' Cracking atmosphere at the Bridge tonight! There's something about European nights that are so special, regardless of who's playing.
    • 1' And we're off at Stamford Bridge!
    • - So, no Ballack for Chelsea tonight - he has to make do with a place on the bench. Florent Malouda and Joe Cole will support Anelka up front with Didier Drogba suspended for tonight's clash.
    • - And tonight's referee is Pieter Vink of Holland.
    • - And the visitors: Rame, Jurietti, Diawara, Planus, Placente, Diarra, Menegazzo, Gouffran, Gourcuff, Wendell, Chamakh- Subs: Valverde, Henrique, Cavenaghi, Bellion, Ducasse, Traore, Obertan
    • - The teams are in... here's how the Blues will line-up: Cech, Bosingwa, Carvalho, Terry, Ashley Cole, Obi, Joe Cole, Deco, Lampard, Malouda, Anelka - Subs: Hilario, Di Santo, Ballack, Ferreira, Kalou, Alex, Belletti
    • - Chelsea kick off their campaign with a home game against Ligue 1 side Bordeaux, managed by Manchester United's very own former defender, Laurent Blanc.
