    FULL-TIME: Chelsea 6-0 Maribor. Easy as you like. The hosts will face tougher challenges, but they destroyed their opposition to suggest they are serious contenders for this year’s Champions League. Glorious stuff.

    SO CLOSE TO THE TREBLE! Hazard floats along the edge of the penalty area, beating yellow shirts with ease, but his shot lacks power. Almost the perfect end to a perfect night for Chelsea.

    Are you worried, Louis van Gaal?

    GOAL! Chelsea 6-0 Maribor. Ake’s searching pass picks out the run of Hazard. The Maribor defence is missing, but the Belgian still shows incredibly composure to control the ball over his shoulder, turn inside, bamboozle his marker with another touch before lashing home.

    Hazard and Ake combine on the edge of the area. Go on, Nathan, take a pop. The man with the afro decides a short pass is a safer bet.
    88'
    Willian slows to a walk after holding the ball up superbly. Cue more applause from a spoilt crowd.

    GREAT BLOCK! Maribor have an opportunity to grab a late consolation, but five blue shirts converge on the free man. That typifies the Chelsea performance tonight. An awesome team display.

    And big Pete shows strong hands to clutch a cross out of the sky. Not put a foot wrong tonight. Not that Thibaut Courtois will be particularly worried.
    84'
    Cech is alert to race 35 yards from goal and balloon a clearance into the air.
    83'
    Hazard glides into the box, shifts the ball left, then darts inside. He’s grabbed a corner.
    82'
    Ivanovic appears in acres of space on the right flank. The Serb’s cross takes a small deflection and flies into the grateful and overused gloves of Handanovic.

    Hazard gets to the byline, chops back, feigns a cross, chops back. All as yellow shirts tumble at his feet. He’s destined for the man of the match award.

    Mourinho actually looks like he’s enjoying himself for once. Not sure he’ll be leaving early to call the wife tonight.

    GOAL! Chelsea 5-0 Maribor. Hazard stares at Handanovic as he runs up to the ball. The keeper dives right; Hazard rolls the ball to the left. So, so cool.

    PENALTY TO CHELSEA! Ivanovic rides one naughty challenge, but hits the ground after Marko Suler gives him a shove. Spotkick number three! The Maribor man goes to remonstrate with his opponent in jest.
    76'
    Drogba is millimetres away from meeting a corner at the near post. It’s going to be a long 15 minutes for the visitors.

    WHAT A BIFF! Willian cuts off the left flank, runs along the 18-yard box and unleashes a shot which cannons against the crossbar. Cracking effort.
    74'
    Matic tries to slip Drogba in down the inside-left channel, but the Frenchman’s touch deserts him.
