94	Superb defending from Cahill. Arsenal keep the pressure on from the corner and Giroud flicks it on for Walcott but Cahill gets back to make a vital tackle.
93	Giroud does well to force a corner for Arsenal. The ball is whipped in to the near post but Ramires heads it behind.

88	Hazard makes way for Marin.
88	Vermaelen hits the free-kick low across the wall but the powerful strike goes just wide with Cech well beaten.

85	Ba out muscles Gibbs on the right hand side and looks to cross but the full-back gets back well to get a foot in.

59	GOAL: CHELSEA 2-1 ARSENAL. Fine goal for Arsenal. Cazorla picks it up in a central position and threads it through for WALCOTT who opens his body to finish past Cech.

40	Mertesacker does well to get a foot in and prevent Oscar's pull back from finding Lampard on the edge of the box.

20	Cole can't stretch to keep in Lampard's long diagonal pass. Chelsea are totally in control now.
