There goes the final whistle! An 8-0 win for Chelsea against Aston Villa. An awful day out for Villa. Their five-game unbeaten run is over.
90+1'
GOAL! And there is an eighth as Ramires places the ball high into the net. Guzan can't keep the ball out. 8-0 now for Chelsea.
89'
Three minutes of time added on to this match.

Brilliant stop by Guzan as he dives to his left to make the stop from Piazon's penalty. No eighth goal.
87'
PENALTY TO CHELSEA! Piazon brought down by Clark. Another penalty to the home side.
86'
Rafa Benitez is on course for his highest Premier League victory. His previous best was 6-0 with Liverpool at home against Derby County in Sept 2007.
85'
Oscar drills an effort wide of goal rather than look to play in Moses, who would have been in for the eighth goal.
84'
Eden Hazard scores Chelsea’s seventh. It is the fourth time Chelsea have scored seven at home in the Premier League era, and the second time they have hit seven at Stamford Bridge against Aston Villa.
83'
The Villa fans looking a bit dazed by all of this as Chelsea chase an eighth goal from the day.
82'
GOAL! Hazard slams the ball into the net. Deflection takes it beyond Guzan. This is a real going over. Villa's young side being ripped apart.

Weimann picks out the run of Ireland, but just a bit strong with the pass as the ball bounds into the arms of Cech.
80'
Bowery is on for Villa as Holman departs the scene.
79'
Villa trying to ensure there is no more damage done today, but Chelsea may yet help themselves to more with 10 minutes remaining.

GOAL! Oscar slams the penalty high into the net. A 6-0 lead now for Aston Villa. Horrid day this for Villa at Stamford Bridge.
77'
PENALTY TO CHELSEA! Oscar brought down by Herd. Looked to be a bit soft. But it is Oscar who is going to take this.

Ramires scores his ninth Premier League goal. Chelsea had lost in the last two Premier League matches he scored in. Eight of his nine Premier League goals have been scored in the second half
75'
A 5-0 lead now for Chelsea against Villa, who must be wondering what has hit them here.

GOAL! Ramires adds a fifth goal for Chelsea. Lovely pass from Lucas and Ramires slams the ball through the legs of Guzan.
73'
Lucas Piazon is thrown on to take over from Juan Mata for Chelsea.
