Substitute Victor Moses scored a stoppage-time winner as Chelsea beat Shakhtar Donetsk 3-2 in their Champions League Group E match at Stamford Bridge. More
90+5' The full-time whistle goes at Stamford Bridge, and Chelsea have stunned Shakhtar Donetsk in the fourth minute of stoppage time through substitute Victor Moses to win 3-2 in a pulsating Champions League Group E match! What a finale to a very fine contest. Chelsea are now joint-top of Group E on seven points. Thanks for joining us.
90+4' GOAL! Chelsea grab a dramatic victory in the final minute of the match, and it's Victor Moses who rises high to head home unmarked from Mata's precise delivery, and Di Matteo's side have nicked this right at the death!
90' Daniel Sturridge comes on to replace Torres, who has one goal - although he didn't know much about it - from his four efforts.
81' Oscar, who scored that superb second Chelsea goal, is brought off to a standing ovation as Victor Moses is introduced.
77' That is Teixeira's last contribution in the match as Ilsinho comes on to replace him.
73' Penalty? No! Hazard releases Ramires, who gets in behind Srna, before appearing to be brought down by the Shakhtar skipper, but referee Carlos Velasco Carballo of Spain infuriates the home fans by shaking his head.
70' Mircea Lucescu is out on the touchline looking very concerned as Kucher hobbles away to the touchline holding his right calf, and he could be about to be replaced.
67' It's a disallowed goal for Chelsea as Mikel ghosts in at the back post to bundle the ball home from Mata's exquisite delivery, but his celebrations are ended abruptly as the offside flag goes up.
57' Hazard wins a free kick out on the left, and it's Teixeira who receives the first yellow card of the match for his challenge.
54' Rat hits the post with a fierce low shot from 25 yards out, and Cech is completely beaten and left flat-footed by the effort!
47' GOAL! It's another goal of supreme quality as Shakhtar draw level once more, and it's Willian who finds a crisp first-time finish from inside the box after fine work from Srna outwide on the right. It's a cracking team goal from the visitors, who are level once more!
46' The second half is under way at Stamford Bridge, and it's Shakhtar's game to chase now with Chelsea holding a slender advantage.
- Let's hope for more of the same in the second half, with some stunning attacking play from both sides in the first 46 minutes. What did you make of that? What is your prediction for the full-time score in this match? You can get in touch on Twitter @Dan_Eurosport
45+1' The half-time whistle goes at Stamford Bridge, and it's 2-1 to Chelsea in this pulsating Champions League Group E clash! Shakhtar equalised through Willian in the ninth minute after Torres's opener, but Oscar restored Chelsea's lead with an inspired volley.
40' GOAL! What a goal from Oscar! Pyatov comes way off his line to intercept a pass from Mata, but it goes straight to Oscar who chests the ball down and volleys over the keeper and into the net from fully 30 yards - it's his fourth goal in four Champions League matches, and a cracker!
14' Srna again takes the corner, and Cech has to make a desperate save at his near post after an inadvertent touch from Bertrand almost beat his own goalkeeper from the set piece!
9' GOAL! Willian, reported to be a Chelsea target, equalises just three minutes after the opening goal, and he finds a cool side-footed finish to beat Cech after brilliant work from Luiz Adriano down the right, who cut the ball back to his team-mate.
6' GOAL! What a catastrophe for Shakhtar as an awful backpass sees Pyatov kick the ball into Torres, and it bounces off the forward and into an empty net! From absolutely nothing, Chelsea are suddenly in front in this match, and it's a disaster for the visitors.
1' We're under way at Stamford Bridge, and there's a terrific atmosphere as Chelsea look to end Shakhtar's formidable record of 37 games unbeaten in all competitions.

×2 awesome
As much as we need a world class striker come Jan, we really do need a world class center back or two. Luiz scares me, he's a real problem and a liability but Cahill can be just as bad at times. I think Terry knows his time is up at Chelsea, not bad getting around £120k a week to sit on the bench then have a bash on the excercise bike when your bored is it?
What a game!What a goal from Oscar!Moses the hero of us!!
Defence really an achilles heel for BPL teams this season. Amazing. Teams could win 10-9 any day.
We'd better take lessons from Celtic and Juventus.
A grating win with a slight taste of revenge. Why are Blues not mean and strict enough in giving space to opponents? Should we not appear so coordinated and coherent to manage flow of plays at home? Is Shakhtar and the like are such overpowering teams to hold off and run Chelsea for their money in the Bridge? or do our team's cowardly withdrawal after scoring goal or the flawed defending mid-fielders and Luiz's blunders give them scope to do whatever they want? By playing like this championship is out of reach.
Sell Torres, that's the main thing. Blues will be the first to repeat!! "It's written in the stars...":-)
good as this 3 points are, SD now have better head to head, and will be given nod if on same points as blues at end. If blues lose in turin, and SD win in Denmark, SD already thro, so can take it easy in last game against Juve
Bravo Victor Moses .... I like your Heading...
" When you are lucky you will not go hungry even in toilet room" - that pretty much sums up what is Chelsea all about
