The introduction of Romelu Lukaku made all the difference in the second half showing his importance for the Blues. Thanks for following the match with us.
GOAL FOR CHELSEA!
Jorginho slots home just past the outstretched arm of Martinez.
PENALTY FOR CHELSEA!
A fantastic run from Lukaku outmuscling Targett and then holding off Konsa who trips him. Konsa gets booked.
Almost a lovely goal from Hudson-Odoi, Lukaku drew defenders on the right flank, then squared to Kovacic, who then passed to the winger on the left hand side of the penalty area but Martinez saved well to his left.
Mount plays a one-two with Lukaku but Konsa does well to force him away from goal and then block an effort from Alonso.
Alonso puts in a dangerous low cross from the left flank which Targett does well not to turn into his own net at the back post.
El Ghazi turns James on the edge of the box and shoots at goal but Mendy was right behind it.
El Ghazi comes on....
He replaces Sanson who has played well.
Cash gets to the by-line and pulls back looking for Watkins but Villa clear.
Last throw of the dice...
Traore and Chukwuemeka come on for Ings and Buendia...
Alonso booked...
Cash turns the Chelsea man and is brought down by the tug of a shirt.
Mount had to score....
Martinez came crazily out of goal and Mount went round him on the edge of the area but then shot into the side-netting.
James take the free kick...
But shoots wide of the target.
Mings being bullied by Lukaku...
He is held off and then brings the Chelsea striker down on the edge of the area.
Kante comes off..
Kovacic replaces him. A move that seems as much about preserving Kante, but Kovacic's return to action is also welcome.
A lovely run deep into Chelsea territory from Ramsey leads to Cash putting a cross into the box but Ings couldn't get on the end of it.
GOAL FOR CHELSEA!
Text book Lukaku goal. A bullet header from Hudson-Odoi's inswinging cross from the left flank. He got across and in front of Mings to leave Martinez with no chance.
Kante plays Mount in and he puts in a fantastic cross from the right flank which Lukaku is inches from powering home.
Thiago Silva off....
He is replaced by Christensen.
He is replaced by Christensen.
