  1. FULL TIME. The ref blows for full time soon after the re-start. A great game here at Stamford Bridge. Thanks for your views tonight, stay with us for reaction. I'll post up a last word in a sec.

  2. 90 (+4)

    GOAL - IVANOVIC!!!! Federici comes up for the corner. Harte takes and Chelsea win the ball and break upfield. Federici tries to get back but it is always in vain. Hazard breaks into the right side of the box before crossing to Ivanovic at the far post who slots home from close range past Gunter!!!

    Harte takes the free-kick and it takes a deflection off Terry and out for a corner on the right.

  4. 90 (+2)

    Harte takes the free-kick but it is poor and Meireles heads out for a throw in to Reading 15 yards out on the left. They take and win another throw in off Meireles. They take again and Leigertwood wins a free-kick off Terry 30 yards out in front of goal.

    R-K wins a free-kick 28 yards out on the left off Ivanovic.

    Cahill needs treatment on the pitch after tussling for the ball in the box but is okay to continue.

    R-K crosses from the left byline and McAnuff heads back across goal at the far post but Cech is quickly off his line and gathers.

In the build-up, Mata finds Cole to the left side of the box who then hits a cross across the face of goal and Torres has a simple tap in from six yards at the far post!!! Wow!!! Chris from Warrington i bet you're happy!!
