  1. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:43 British Summer Time 24 May 2015

    Loic Remy has hauled off his tracksuit top and canters on to take Juan Cuadrado's place.

  2. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:41 British Summer Time 24 May 2015

    Juan Cuadrado booked for leaving a foot in on Sebastian Coates. Probably fair. The Colombian is now down again, though, clutching his left leg.

    Chelsea have bossed this game, even though it's 1-1. They have had 65% of first-half possession.

    It was a clear foul by John O'Shea on Juan Cuadrado. The only possible argument Sunderland might have is that the foul was right on the edge of the area.

  5. GOALpublished at 15:36 British Summer Time 24 May 2015

    Diego Costa steps up... spots the ball a second time... and steers past Vito Mannone.

  6. PENALTYpublished at 15:35 British Summer Time 24 May 2015

    Juan Cuadrado is downed by John O'Shea...

  7. Postpublished at 15:34 British Summer Time 24 May 2015

    Spike that, Juan Cuadrado is back on after a wee rub and spray.

  8. Postpublished at 15:32 British Summer Time 24 May 2015

    Juan Cuadrado is crumpled on the touchline as play rages around him. Not sure if the Colombian can continue here...

  9. Postpublished at 15:31 British Summer Time 24 May 2015

    Was there not something a little disrespectful about that whole human armchair routine mid-game? Or am I just a miserable sod? Still, it's probably served to prick the exuberance of the Sunderland players after they took the lead. Clever move, Jose.

    The jersey is off and the hugs and handshakes are being exchanged as Didier Drogba ambles into the dug out.

  11. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:28 British Summer Time 24 May 2015

    After a rampant first few minutes, Didier Drogba appears to have rather ran out of puff. He is being replaced by Diego Costa and is being carried off the pitch by his team-mates. Would it be uncharitable to suggest he needs the assistance?

  12. GOALpublished at 15:26 British Summer Time 24 May 2015

    Adam Johnson's corner flashes all the way across the Chelsea penalty area and is met by the forehead of Steven Fletcher at the back post. Really poor defending by the champions, there.

  13. SAVE!published at 15:23 British Summer Time 24 May 2015

    Petr Cech is called upon again, this time the Chelsea goalkeeper pushing away a Patrick van Aanholt drive.

    Sunderland have had nine goalless draws this season. Not a hugely welcome statistic.

  15. WIDE!published at 15:20 British Summer Time 24 May 2015

    Patrick van Aanholt has just skittered a low offered wide. He wasn't particularly close but Jose Mourinho will, you imagine, be piqued by the amount of space the Sunderland full-back found there.

  16. Postpublished at 15:18 British Summer Time 24 May 2015

    Hmm, Juan Cuadrado has just speared a crossfield ball into the stand. Not hugely impressive by Chelsea's Colombian attacker.

  17. SAVE!published at 15:17 British Summer Time 24 May 2015

    Chelsea's Serb defender is clearly aggrieved and responds by stinging Vito Mannone's palms with a fierce drive.

  18. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 15:15 British Summer Time 24 May 2015

    Branislav Ivanovic is picked out by Eden Hazard's delightful diagonal and bursts into the box only to fall under pressure. Is he fouled by Seb Larsson? Perhaps. He appeared to be already on his way top ground before contact was made, though.

  19. SAVE!published at 15:13 British Summer Time 24 May 2015

    Seb Larsson is over a free-kick... and his fizzing effort is beaten away by Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech.

  20. Postpublished at 15:12 British Summer Time 24 May 2015

    As you can probably tell, there's not much happening. Chelsea have most of the ball but Sunderland look solid and well organised, as you'd expect from a side who have not conceded in their past three matches.

    That's something of an achievement if you recall just how rank rotten their defence was in the dying days of Gus Poyet's reign.
