The final whistle goes, and it's another English club falling to defeat in Italy in this season's Champions League? Can Villas-Boas and Chelsea turn it around in three weeks time?
90+3'
Drogba chests the ball down into the path of Lampard... the shot is well struck but De Sanctis can save and hold on to the ball.
90+1'
Cole is in space on the left and his cross goes just behind Drogba... guided over the bar by the striker.
90'
The shot count now reads 13-13 (eight on target for Napoli, five for chelsea) as we had into injury time.
88'
Drogba penalised for handling the ball. He was perhaps unfortunate with the bounce, but he did handle it.
86'
Drogba leaves it for Mata, who floats the dead ball into the box but Sturridge is offside.
85'
Chelsea have a free-kick. It's some way from goal, but Drogba is making like he is going to shoot form here...
83'
The insanely high tempo of this match has abated somewhat - since around the time that Essien and Lampard came on - but there is still plenty of time for Chelsea to grab another goal. That would certainly give the Blues more hope going into the second leg.

OFF THE LINE!! Great ball from Cavani to Hamsik in the box. The Slovakian sells his marker a dummy and squares across the six-yard box to Maggio at the far post, but Ashley Cole is there to block it!
80'
Chelsea have several men in the box and the ball falls to Ivanovic's feet, but the big Serb's prodded effort is blocked and cleared.
79'
The free-kick is delivered to the far post, but the whistle blows for a foul by a Napoli player. chelsea go uop the other end and win a corner.
78'
Lovely bit of skill from Dzemaili. The substitute backheels the ball behind him, drawing the foul from Lampard.
77'
Hamsik tries to thread a pass through for Cavani, but Cahill is there to intercept. Rather ambitious from Hamsik.

Napoli substitution: Blerim Dzemaili replaces Lavezzi.
73'
Chelsea have won just one of their last six Champions League away games and none of the last four.
71'
Cavani goes down in a heap after challenge from Essien, the Chelsea midfielder's first involvement in the game. Not sure there was as much in that as Cavani made out.
70'

Chelsea substitution: Michael Essien and Frank Lampard replace Malouda and Meireles.
69'
Mata wins the ball off of Inler in the Napoli half. Of all the experienced Chelsea players on the field, he is the one who has shown the most drive and leadership by example this evening for the Blues.
68'
Lovely ball slipped down the right for Maggio, who just can't keep it in play.
