End of 2nd Half
90+3'
FT: Chelsea 3-1 BATE. Loftus-Cheek's hat-trick strengthens Chelsea's palce at the top of EL Group L and gives Sarri food for thought about the youngster's starting chances in the PL. Bate pulled one back late on, but in the end the scoreline flattered the side from Belarus.
90'
Three minutes added.
88'
As it stands, Chelsea will move onto nine points with BATE, Vidi and PAOK all on three.
86'
Sarri barking orders from the touchline. He still looks frustrated that his side let in that sloppy goal.
84'
It sounds strange but BATE will be happy with a 3-1 scoreline given how one-sided this has been. It could easily be six or seven.
82'
Loftus-Cheek with another wonderful run. BATE have no answer to him, but his flicked attempt is just about kept out by the keeper.
80'
Sarri not impressed by how his team switched off and he makes a note on some paper.
79'
GOAL! Aleksey Rios arrives late to smash home a left-wing free kick from close range after Chelsea went to sleep at the back.

CLOSE! Kepa shows good reflexes to push away Skavysh's shot on the turn - but it wouldn't have counted as the flag was up for offside.

BATE CHANGE: Yablonskiy on for Baga.

Ivanic gets a sight of goal but arcs his effort well wide. Bate boss Alyaksey Baha is not impressed on the touchline.
73'
SAVE! Moses charges through a challenge in the box. Giroud spins on it and rolls his man before seeing a driven shot pushed away by Shcherbitski from relatively close range.
72'
Elsewhere in the pool, Vidi lead 2-0 at PAOK.

BATE CHANGE: Jasse Tuominen on for Signevich.

69'
More wizardry from Loftus-Cheek as he twinkle-toes his way into the box from the left. Three BATE defenders can't halt him. He eventually tumbles under some pressure, but again the referee is not interested.
67'
67'
Zappacosta unleashes a pile-driver from 25 yards but sees the keeper push his effort to safety.
66'
65'
Another driving run from deep by Loftus-Cheek. He is urged to shoot by the crowd but instead looks for the pass. The move breaks down. He should have had the shot the way he's been playing - and finishing!
