- Highlights
90+3'
It's all over at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea go top of Champions League Group C with an emphatic 6-0 win. Conte's side never looked in danger - Qarabag will struggle for a meaningful result in this group.
90+2
To their credit, Qarabag are trying to push forward in the dying minutes. Medetov breaks free but is unable to keep the ball in play at the touchline.
90+1
Willian has been very lively tonight. He charges into the box but is dispossessed and the ball bobbles out for a throw-in.
89'
The sixth goal attributed to Batshuayi has now been attributed to a Medvedev own goal. A wicked deflection.
88'
As the home side sit back and the visitors look for a consolation, Willian dispossesses Huseynov on the edge of the area.
86'
CHANCE! A QARABAG CHANCE! Ndlovu is fed an aerial ball on the edge of the area, but his shot rises a little too high over the bar.
86'
Qarabag helping Chelsea spread the goals around tonight.
84'
Eden Hazard beats his man beautifully inside his own half and makes a run all the way into the opposition box. It comes to nothing but it was a brief taste of Belgian magic.
82'
It was a comedy of errors leading to that sixth goal, as two separate Qarabag defenders hit a pass into Zappacosta in the build-up. The Azerbaijani side will be willing the final whistle.
81'
GOAL: It's six. Batshuayi has his second of the night as Zappacosta wins the ball on the left flank and rolls in an easy assist.
80'
Qarabag's defending leaves an awful lot to be desired tonight - they operated a "no marking policy" on at least three of the goals. It doesn't feel like Chelsea have needed to get out of third gear.
77'
SUB: Pedro Henrique is replaced by Tarik Elyounoussi.
77'
Despite the hammering and the rain, Qarabag's fans at The Bridge appear cheerful. Regardless of the outcome of their campaign, they're going to enjoy some lovely trips to Madrid and Rome.
75'
GOAL: Batshuayi makes it five! Bakayoko intercepts a lazy Qarabag pass 30 yards from goal and puts it in the path of Michy. This is too easy now.
75'
Diego who?
74'
SUB: Antonio Rudiger replaces the scorer of the third goal, Azpilicueta.
72'
Double substitution for Qarabag: Medetov and Diniyev for Sadıqov and Qarayev.
71'
Bakayoko's strike deflected off of Huseynov's boot. The Chelsea midfielder received the ball in the box from a Fabregas cross. Cesc has been involved in a lot of the action tonight.
70'
GOAL: Bakayoko gets his first Chelsea goal through a cruel deflection.
67'
CHANCE: Willian cuts in on the left side of the box and fires a powerful shot at goal from around 15 yards out. It ricochets off the bar into the stands.
