If I was the MK Dons manager, I'd be getting a midfielder tight to Cesc Fabregas. The Chelsea playmaker is just sitting in the centre circle and pulling the strings like a master puppeteer. He's seeing the game two moves ahead of everyone else.

"This is about as open as I've ever seen Chelsea play. If you win the ball you are straight on to their back four.

"This is like watching a kid's game, it's brilliant to watch. I can't remember seeing a game like this."

A look at Chelsea's average positions shows they are particularly open, particularly down their left.

Reuben Loftus-Cheek looks to be some player. The 20-year-old is snapping into the tackles like Roy Keane, barging through players like Yaya Toure and has the aura of Steven Gerrard when he gets within 25 yards of goal.

"A player of Hazard's quality, you expected him to play it round the other side of the goalkeeper. And regarding the Costa chance - as a striker he was always going to go for it and not leave it for Oscar."

And again! A low ball across goal... Diego Costa and Oscar slide in for a tap-in...

Costa gets there but his contact is poor and the ball slides way wide of goal. Oscar, just beyond him, would almost certainly have scored.

This could finish up being 5-4. This time one simple pass from inside the Chelsea half beats the MK Dons offside trap, Eden Hazard latches on to it but rolls his shot against the near post. The ball then bounces at some pace into the very grateful hands of the MK Dons keeper. All happening.

Seven shots to two in Chelsea's favour, over 70% of the ball and much of the play squeezed into the Dons' final third. What's the score though? All it takes is one deflection or ricochet and bingo, game on.

"Just what they needed - a little bit of fortune. They kept playing it around the area. It's fortunate, but it's 1-1."

"That goal was a gift.

"Robinson has to change this system. They are going to get cut to ribbons at this rate."

"Kyle McFadzean looked absolutely gutted after his mistake which led to the goal. Goalkeeper David Martin did his best to gee his defender up, but with Chelsea profligate early on, that could prove so costly."

Samir Carruthers with his second shot of the match - from inside the area - but his low effort is easy for Thibaut Courtois.

A chance for Reuben Loftus-Cheek, whose shot is straight at David Martin. Chelsea have got their mojo back.

"It has been coming. It's really poor play from MK Dons. Not sure what defender Kyle McFadzean was doing there. He's a heading, kicking centre-half - not a playing one."

"Costa has had a chance to shoot, Hazard had a chance to shoot, Oscar had a chance to shoot. They had so many men lining up it was ridiculous. Still in it MK Dons. Chelsea have had three very decent chances."

"It's a waste in the end from Oscar, but some of the build-up is exquisite. This is very, very good from Chelsea."

If you have just joined us, David Martin pulled off a fine save to deny what looked like a clear opening goal for Chelsea. England's number two approved.

If this is Guus Hiddink's doing, he deserves plenty of credit. For the third time in the match, Chelsea's one-touch passing inside the penalty area almost carves an opening - this time from a short corner - but they run into a wall of bodies.

Moments later, another slick move ends with Oscar leaning back and bending an effort past the post from 12 yards out. Chelsea bossing this game.

"It's fair to say Karl Robinson got what he was asking for: an intimidating atmosphere. What makes that all the more impressive is they've managed to do it despite balloons marked like a cow being punted around the ground, one of which landed right next to me..."
