Chelsea got their Champions League campaign off to the best possible start with a comfortable 4-0 win over Bordeaux. More
- 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!
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.
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!
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.
42' Carvalho's got a slightly bloodied nose here... he makes the short trip to the sidelines to get some treatment.
36' Oooh! Gourcuff goes close from the resulting free kick! His set piece effort flies just over Cech's bar!
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.
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!
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!
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!
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...
1' And we're off at Stamford Bridge!
