    Time:90'
    • Bolton Wanderers
    • Chelsea
    • 90+4' The final whistle goes, and Chelsea will stay top of the Premier League table this evening.
    • 90+2' Bolton have now shipped eight goals against Chelsea in four days. They haven't even played badly today.
    • 90+1' GOAL!! Drogba finally gets his goal, and what a goal it is! Anleka chipped the ball across to Deco, who chested it to Lampard. A backheel flick from the England man drops perfectly for Drogba to side-foot past Jaaskelainen!
    • 88' Drogba's ball across goal runs in front of Essien, who chases to keep it in play. He pulls a ball back for Lampard, who miscues his strike and sends the ball looping over the bar.
    • 86' A long ball is floated forwards for Davies to battle for, but he's outnumbered three to one. Chelsea counter-attack but Lampard is offside.
    • 86' Ricketts stays calm under pressure from Lampard to play the ball out of defence.
    • 83' It looks as though that will go down as an own goal from Zat Knight. Perhaps one for the dubious goals panel.
    • 82' GOAL!! Carvalho beats Ricketts on the left before sending in a cross with the outside of his boot for Ivanovic to head in Chelsea's third! Ivanovic deserved a goal for his performance today, but credit to Carvalho for his skill in creating it.
    • 81' Cohen barges Drogba over on the right. Deco's free-kick is nodded down back to BALLACK... blocked en route to goal!
    • 80' Gardner's delivery is blocked, and the follow-up strike from the edge of the area is charged down too.
    • 79' Ferreira desperately sticks a leg out to challenge Ricketts and concedes a free-kick on the edge of the area, as well as getting booked.
    • 77' Anelka shows quick feet to turn inside and get his shot away, but it hits a defender's shin on the way through and the sting is taken out of the shot.
    • 76' Ricketts sends in the long throw and it drops to Gardner, who digs out a shot that's well wide.
    • 75' Drogba gets his head to a Gardner corner. The ball comes back to the Jamaican and Lampard concedes the throw.
    • 74' Another Bolton attack is snuffed out, and Chelsea can break. Anelka and Drogba both chase the same through ball... at least one of them is offside, as the flag goes up.
    • 73' Chelsea can't make anything from the corner, but Drogba blocks Cahill's clearance for a throw deep in Bolton territory. The Blues are keeping the pressure on despite being 2-0 up.
    • 72' Drogba tries to find Ballack with a crosss, and Robinson has to head behind. Lampard's corner is headed behind with Ivanovic lurking, and Deco will deliver from the other side.
    • 71' Deco tries to beat one player too many and loses out to Basham, but Terry soon takes it back off the Bolton midfielder.
    • 69' Davies gets down the flank and fires a low cross towards GARDNER... Ivanovic is there first to intercept before the Jamaican can get a telling touch.
    • 68' Essien has another pop from distance, but the ball flies right into the proverbial Row Z.
    • 67' Zat Knight concedes the corner. It comes to Deco at the far post, and the looping header is caught by Jaaskelainen right on the line.
    • 66' Chelsea are doing a good job of keeping the ball, and also keeping the crowd quiet.
    • 64' Muamba is replaced by another midfielder, Mark Davies.
    • 61' Bolton had been threatening to draw level, but now they have to score two to avoid a second defeat to the Blues in four days!
    • 60' GOAL!! Gardner's corner goes over everyone and Chelsea break. Carvalho finds Anelka, who slips it through to Deco on the right. The Portuguese switches feet and curls a nice left-footed finish past Jaaskelainen!
    • 59' Jaaskelainen bats away an Anelka shot and Bolton break forward. Cohen draws the foul. The free-kick is swung in and Terry has to head Gardner's second ball behind for a corner.
    • 57' The corner is played back to Essien, who steps over it and it rolls for LAMPARD... The strike rattles the crossbar! You could hear that at the other end of the ground!
    • 56' The free-kick is played square for Anelka... deflected over the bar for a corner.
    • 56' Robinson once more nobbles Ivanovic, this time on the right wing, and Chelsea have a dangerous dead ball chance...
    • 55' Drogba through on goal again, this time on the right... JAASKELAINEN SAVES AGAIN!
    • 54' Drogba thorugh on the left... SAVED BY JAASKELAINEN! The Bolton defenders were complaining the Ivorian controlled with his arm, but play continued and Jaaskelainen had to save with his feet.
    • 53' Davies finds Cohen in the Chelsea box with a header, but Essien tracks back to stop the Israeli making the shot! Cohen wanted too much time in the box there.
    • 52' Drogba charges down the left before cutting the ball back to DECO... The Portuguese had to dig the ball out from under his feet before getting the shot off, and ended up firing wide.
    • 50' Joe Cole is warming up on the sideline. He is likely to make an appearance later on as his rehabilitation continues.

    • 47' Muamba hassles Lampard into misplacing a pass and kicking it out for a throw.
    • 46' Paul Robinson's first act of the match is the clatter Ivanovic and concede a free-kick. A cynic might suggest that was done on manager's orders.
    • 46' Chelsea kick off and the second half is underway!
    • HT A double change from Botlon at half-time, with Ricardo Gardner and Paul Robinson coming on.
    • 45+2' That was the last kick of the half, and Chelsea go in a goal to the good.

    • 45' PENALTY!! Drogba is clean through on goal and Jlloyd Samuel clips his heels! Samuel goes for an early bath, while Drogba also goes off for treamtent. Lampard v Jaaskelainen...

    • 36' Samuel plays the ball across the face of goal to Cahill, and almost gifts it to Drogba! What was he thinking?
    • 34' Cahill brings down Anelka in the centre circle. The ball is worked to Ballack, who has a pop from distance, and it sails into the crowd.

    • 27' Drogba dives in but fails to get a touch on Lampard's inswinging ball, but Jasskelainen still has to make sure it doesn't creep in at the far post. Bolton get a break as the officials award them a goal kick.

    • 19' Samuel makes tracks down the left wing, but can't beat Ivanovic.
    • 18' Anelka chips a ball forward to absolutely no one. Seriously, there was not a blue shirt within 10 metres of where it landed.

    • 15' From the corner Jaaskelainen makes another great save, tipping a header over the bar!

    • 10' Cahill puts the ball behind for a corner.
    • 9' Petr Cech manages to clear just in time as Lee puts him under pressure.

    • 6' Lampard does well to keep the ball moving around the edge of the Bolton area, but Deco's loose pass takes the sting out of the attack.
