    That's our lot. Chelsea claim a deserved 3-0 win and move into third in the Premier League. A Champions League spot is now theirs to lose.
    90+3'
    Moses beats two players inside the Fulham penalty area but shoots just over the bar. Think it was deflected, but Mike Dean disagrees.
    90+2'
    Fulham really open at the back as Torres tries to pick out Lampard in the box.
    90+1'
    Four minutes of added time signalled by the fourth official's board.
    89'
    As I say that, Luiz hoofs the ball straight out of play with a shocking pass. Fulham get it back in play quickly but they can't break down a resolute Chelsea defence.
    88'
    David Luiz wins a throw in on the halfway line. He has been magnificent tonight.
    87'
    Ramires blazes over the bar from the edge of the area. A fourth goal would compound Fulham's misery.
    86'
    Victor Moses has looked really lively this evening but his cross flies past every blue shirt that had made the journey up the pitch.
    85'
    Emanuelson gets into a position to deliver, but cuts back onto his right foot and passes across the area. Chance gone.
    84'
    Martin Jol has his arms folded on the sidelines and doesn't look all that impressed. I wouldn't like to be the man chosen to interview him after the match.
    83'
    Cech spills the ball at the feet of Rodellega, but manages to claw it back before the Colombian can pounce.

    It's not been Petric's night at all. The striker makes way for Kerim Frei.

    Juan Mata, whose deliveries have caused Fulham a host of problems tonight, is replaced by Demba Ba.
    80'
    "And it's super Chelsea, super Chelsea FC" ringing out around Craven Cottage. And it's hard to disagree with the Blues fans. Job done tonight.
    79'
    Ruiz gets down the left, but he elects to pass backwards rather than drive at Ivanovic.
    78'
    Torres almost latches onto a ball over the top, but he doesn't commit early enough and the ball bounces beyond him.
    77'
    Rodellega loses his cool with Mike Dean but he can have few complaints as he blatantly shoved Ivanovic.

    On loan midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong replaces Karagounis who has put in a solid shift tonight.
    75'
    Mata delivers another corner, but this time it flies over everyone and out of play.

    Mikel comes on for Ramires. Straight swap, probably to save the Brazilian's legs.
